<i>VAVILOVIA FORMOSA </i>AND <i>CICER MINUTUM </i>(<i>FABACEAE</i>) IN DAGESTAN
New localities of Cicer minutum Boiss. et Hohen. and Vavilovia formosa (Stev.) Fed. were found in Dagestan in 2011. Both species are very rare in nature and listed in the Red Data Book of Russia. The most interesting result of the field survey of highland areas of the East Caucasus was the discovery of Cicer minutum in the upper reaches of the Samur River on the Ragdan and Nesin-Dag mounts near Kurush village. In Russia, this species was not found until 1970-1971, when it was for the one time collected by V. M. Prima in the upper reaches of the Chehy-Chay River (a tributary of the Samur), Nesin- Dagh Mount. south of Kurush village.
