ABSTRACT
The article discusses analysis of natural medicinal plants of the republic of Karakalpakstan by ecological groups.
KEYWORDS
Ecological groups, Karakalpakstan, natural medicinal plants.
INTRODUCTION
The growth of plants in the territory of Karakalpakstan
is greatly influenced by various environmental factors,
soil-climate and annual weather conditions, the drying
up of the Aral Sea, that is, the large-scale soil
salinization and drought that took place in the last 20
years.
Currently, 444 species of medicinal plants belonging to
63 families and 240 genera grow naturally in the
territory of Karakalpakstan. They make up 40% of the
flora of this area as naturally growing medicinal plants
[1;7;8;9].
The main results and findings
From the works of a number of scientists, namely R.D.

medicinal plants were ecologically analyzed, it was
found that they belong to the main 5 ecological groups.
The results of the analysis of the obtained data are
presented in Table 1.

According to the data presented in Table 1, the group
of psammophytes made up 56% of medicinal plants
with 249 species. This group includes plants adapted to
grow in sandy soils. Of the 249 species belonging to
this group, 67 species grow in gypsophitic soils, 62
species in petrophytic soils, 43 species in halophytic
soils, and 15 species grow in forests.
When analyzing plants belonging to the group of
psammophytes in Karakalpakstan by families, we
found 40 species from the Asteraceae family, 40 from
the amaranth family, 17 from the legume family, 13
from the cruciferous family, 12 from the bluegrass
family, 10 from the Boraginaceae family, 9 from the
Apiaceae family , 9 from the family Poaceae, etc. the
entry of the species has been determined. These are
Ferula
foetida,
Artemisia
scoparia,
Cirsium
ochrolepideum, Descurainia sophia, Anabasis salsa,
Atriplex sagittata, Chenopodium rubrum, Centaurea
squarrosa. Plants of this ecological group are
distributed over a wide range.
Plants of the petrophyte group rank second with 159
species and account for 35.8%. Of the 159 species
included in this group, 88 species are adapted to grow
on psammophytic soils, 40 species are adapted to
grow on gypsum soils, 30 species are adapted to
halophytic soils, 30 species are adapted to grow in
forests. When analyzing these plants by families, it was
found that they belong to Amaranthaceae - (21
species), Asteraceae - (19), Fabaceae - (14),
Boraginaceae - (10) and others. Representatives of this

family include: Amberboa turanica, Lactuca serriola,
Scorzonera
gageoides,
Anabasis
eriopoda,
Chenopodium
album,
Gamanthus
gamocarpus,
Asperugo procumbens, Astragalus flexus and others.
In third place is the group of gypsophytes (143; 32.2%).
Of these, 67 species grow in sandy areas with
psammophytes, 36 in saline areas with halophytes, 53
in stony areas with petrophytes, and 18 in forests. In
the first place are Amaranthaceae - a family (30
species), Asteraceae - (16), Polygonaceae - (13),
Brassicaceae - (8), Fabaceae - (8). Representatives of
these families include the following. Examples include:
Anabasis salsa, Chenopodium album, Acroptilon
repens, Capsella bursa-pastoris and others.
It has been established that medicinal plants naturally
growing in the region belong to 5 ecological groups:
psammophytes,
petrophytes,
halophytes,
gypsophytes, forest plants, most of them belong to
psammophytes, due to their ability to adapt to the soil
and climatic conditions of the region. . It should be
noted that some plant species are found in different
environmental conditions.
The classification of plants of Karakalpakstan into
ecological groups is based on the works of a number of
scientists, namely N.I. Akzhigitova [2] Halophyta found
in saline soils, N.I. Akzhigitova [3] used sources of
halophyte plants from Central Asia.
According to the analyzed data, the group of
halophytes accounted for 26.35% of medicinal plants
with 117 species. This group includes plants adapted to
living in saline soils. Of the 249 species belonging to this
group, 47 species are found in sandy areas, 36 in saline
gypsum, 37 in rocky lands, and 23 in forests. When
analyzed by families Amaranthaceae - (40 species),
Asteraceae - (13), Poaceae - (6), Tamaricaceae - (6),
Brassicaceae - (5), Fabaceae - (5)the family is identified
as the lead. Examples of this group and members of
families include the following species: Eminium
lehmannii (Bunge) O.Kuntze, Agriophyllum latifolium
Fisch. & C.A.Mey., Amaranthus albus L., Anabasis
aphylla L., Anabasis brachiata Fisch. & C.A. Mey. ex Kar.
& Kir., Anabasis eriopoda (Schrenk) Paulsen, Anabasis
salsa (Ledeb.) Benth. ex Volkens, Atriplex calotheca
(Rafn)Fries, Atriplex patula L., Atriplex sagittata Borkh.
Atriplex sibirica L. Atriplex tatarica L. Camphorosma

Pall., Asparagus officinalis L., Koelpinia linearis Pall.,
Artemisia songarica Schrenk it is permissible to cite
Artemisia songarica Schrenk C.AMey. Medicinal plants
belonging to this ecological group are distributed in a
wide range.
CONCLUSION
In conclusion, when analyzing medicinal plants of
Karakalpakstan by ecological groups, the fact that 93
species can grow on psammophytic, gypsum-phytic,
petrophytic, halophytic and forest soils indicates a
wide range of distribution of medicinal plants
throughout the region, which corresponds to the soil
and climatic conditions of the region.
