Two of the many different forms of Tulipa biebersteiniana found in Shakinskaya<br />
Dubrava (see p. 120).<br />
Hyacinthella leucaphaea (C. Koch) Schur.<br />
Perennial. Stony and steppe slopes, ravines. Very seldom (Sagalaev, 2000). Fl. IV-V. In<br />
the territory of the Park this species has not been found, but really occurs somewhat to<br />
the north, at Urjupinsky district of Volgograd region near khutor Bespalovsky, and in<br />
Saratov region.<br />
Muscari neglectum Guss. (M. racemosum auct.).<br />
Perennial. Very rare plant in the territory of the Park, known only from Shakinskaya<br />
Dubrava, where it was once collected (“khutor Shakin, 4 V 1976, anonym (VOLG)”<br />
(Kuvaldina, 1982). Meadow-steppe plants. Fl. IV-V. Included in the Red Data Book of<br />
Volgograd region (2005).<br />
Ornithogallum fischeri Krash.<br />
Perennial. Open plain steppe, slopes of steppe ravines, dry meadows. Edge of woodssteppe<br />
plants. Fl. V-VI. Until now it has not been found in the Park yet, but occurs<br />
seldom to the south-east, at Sholokhovsky district of Rostov region (Fedyaeva, 2004)<br />
and in other districts of theVolgograd region. It is distinguished from O. kochii by its<br />
elongated inflorescence and larger flowers, the seed pods being 3-angled (not 6-angled<br />
as in O. kochii).<br />
O. kochii Parl.<br />
Perennial. Slopes of steppe ravines, in glades and on the edges of wood; not seldom.<br />
Edge of wood-steppe plants. This species was first identified in this territory by A.K.<br />
Skvortsov (1971). It was discovered in Shakinskaya Dubrava and published under the<br />
name Ornithogalum gussonei. For a long time it was considered a very rare species for<br />
the Lower Khoper area, but latest field research clarified that it occurs in many places<br />
throughout the Park on chalk and steppe slopes and edges of upland forests (near<br />
khutor Podok, stanitsas Bukanovskaya and Slaschevskaya of Kumilzhensky district;<br />
khutor Shubinsky of Alexeevsky district and others). Fl. IV-V.<br />
Scilla sibirica Haw.<br />
Perennial. Upland woods, shrubby thickets of steppe ravines, in alder forests, under<br />
canopy of trees, in glades; frequently. In spring it makes carpets of blue in Shakinskaya<br />
