New findings of vascular plants on the Putorana Plateau

A recent survey of the Putorana Plateau, conducted between 2021 and 2022, uncovered 9 vascular plant species previously unknown to the Taimyrsky Municipal District (TMR) of Krasnoyarsk Territory and 7 new to the plateau itself. These discoveries include Carex vesicaria, Chamaerhodos grandiflora, Dactylorhiza fuchsii, among others, with some species like Botrychium multifidum and Oxytropis tichomirovii listed in the Krasnoyarsk Territory Red Data Book. The research also documented new locations for 28 rare taxa, contributing significantly to the understanding of the plateau's biodiversity. The study was part of a broader flora inventory program in the Putorana Nature Reserve, focusing on areas near Lake Nakomyaken and Lake Duluk.
