Abstract
For the first time, a list of higher vascular plants of the natural flora of the Ushkurmynker ridge is presented. The list is based on literature data and materials collected during our field surveys and includes 127 species belonging to 94 genera and 37 families. 21 species are rare and endemic for the Altai mountainous country and the Southern Altai. In addition, the following species are registered in the Southern Altai for the first time: Smelowskia calycina (Steph.) C. A. Mey., Draba ochroleuca Bge., Ribes glabrum (Hedl.) Sennikov., Thymus schischkinii Serg., Doronicum oblongifolium DC., Saussurea leucophylla Schrenk., Saussurea krylovii Schischk. et Serg. The most numerous is the Asteraceae family, which includes 20 species. Potentilla is the genera largest of the presented and includes 5 species. We also registered many families that were represented by 1–2 species.
