Abstract

The variability of the morphological features of plants Astragalus austrosibiricus (Fabaceae) at diff erent heights above sea level in diff erent years of observations was studied. Th e range of morphological variability in diff erent ecological and geographical conditions was shown. Th e complex of traits was revealed, which are characterized by high correlation coeffi cients and by set the degree of infl uence factors on the variability of some studied morphological attributes.
