Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents the results of the study of the genus Eremurus of the family Asphodelaceae, which includes more than 70 species of perennial grasses with thickened roots and root leaves. According to «Flora of Kazakhstan», 13 species of the genus are registered in Kazakhstan, but according to M.S. Baitenov, their number reaches 15 species. Literature sources were screened and more than 130 herbarium specimens from major collections (AA, TASH, LE, MW) from 1988 to 2024 were reviewed. We have determined the ranges of the studied species according to the Botanical-geographical zoning of Kazakhstan and Central Asia: Eremurus robustus has the following range: Region - Saharo-Gobian, Subregion - Irano-Turanian, Province - Mountain-middle - Asian - Dzungarian - Dzungaro-North Tianshanian; Eremurus tianschanicus has the following range: Region - Saharo-Gobian, Subregion - Irano-Turanian, Province - Mountain-middle - Asian - Dzungaro-North Tianshanian.
