The article shows that among the 144 species of flowering plants included into the
«Red Book of the Chita Oblast and Aginsky Buryat Autonomous Okrug», 39 species are
early flowering plants. There is a large group of relict plants (19 species). Eight species
of the rare plants (Atragene macropetala, Aquilegia leptoceras, Atraphaxis frutescens,
Euphorbia karoi, Paeonia anomalia, Pulmonaria mollis, Rhamnus piesjaukovae, Rhamnus
erythroxylon) have been found as a result of expedition research. They are recommended
to be included in the next edition of the «Red Book of the Zabaikalsky Krai». The state
natural landscape reserve of regional significance called Relict Oaks has been established
to preserve rare species in the south-eastern part of the Zabaikalsky Krai, in the Gazimur,
the Argun, and the Uryumkan interfluves. Specialists recommend creating two specially
protected wildlife areas in the south-western part of the krai, in the Chikoi River basin.
