Nekhaevsky district.
we enumerate bulbous plants of the Lower Khoper Nature Park identified to the
present day. In the following list the ecological characteristic, occurrence and
information in distribution in the territory are given, with short comments where
necessary. We include as well several species which have not been found yet in
