Abstract

Intensive use of the rare species Hedysarum theinum habitats in the Altai Republic for cutting, overharvesting of red root for medicinal raw material and slow rate renewal may lead this species to extinction. Creation of artifi cial populations of this voluable plant will help obtaining raw material for medicinal preparations, as well as reintroduction of the plant to natural localities.
