The phytocenotic diversity of the Central Baraba (the lake Chany, West Siberia) is characterized. 11 classes, 16 orders, 20 unions and 36 associations of the Braun-Blanquet floristic classification have been found, their ordination has been carried out on wetting gradients and soil richness-salinity. It is demonstrated that the peculiarity of the vegetable cover, as compared with other Baraba regions, is determined by a wider spread of aquatic and shoreline vegetation in the Chany water area and by the existence of abnormally large contours of halophyte vegetation on the bottom of the presently dryYudinsky pool of the lake Chany.
