By results of the ISSR analysis the close relation E. margaritae with StY-genomic species E. fedtschenkoi Tzvelev and E. abolinii (Drob.) Tzvelev was revealed. The new species is distributed on the Krasnaya Mountain (Ust-Koksinsky dist.), Katunsky Range and Ukok Plateau. The chromosome number 2 n = 4 x = 28 was specifi ed.
