MODELING THE MORPHOLOGICAL CHARACTERISTICS AND GEOGRAPHICAL DISTRIBUTION OF THE SPECIES PHLOMIS CYCLODON (LAMIACEAE) IN UZBEKISTAN

Abstract

In this article, the morphological characteristics of the species Phlomis cyclodon, a member of the Lamiaceae family, growing in Uzbekistan, were analyzed, and its geographical distribution area was estimated based on the MaxEnt modeling method. The results obtained showed that this species has a narrow ecological amplitude, distributed mainly on mountainous, limestone slopes. The identification of morphological adaptations and ecological constraints is important for the conservation and floristic monitoring of the species
