Abstract

The article contains information about the new localities of 23 vascular plant species in the Southern Urals (Chelyabinsk Region), obtained as a result of expeditionary research in the period 2018-2024. One species ( Limonium sareptanum (A. Beck.) Gams.) is reported as new for the regional flora. Protected plants are represented by 13 species from “Red Book of the Chelyabinsk Region”, current data on their distribution are important for the preparation of the next edition of the regional Red Book. The ten species have a small number of localities and are rare in the Chelyabinsk region. Most of the identified localities supplement the information about the species distribution at the border of the range: 15 species are located at the northern limit ( Anabasis cretacea Pall. , Asparagus inderiensis Blume ex Ledeb. , Astragalus brachylobus Fisch. ex DC. , A. varius S.G.
