Abstract
Ajania fastigiata (C.Winkl.) Poljakov is a promising medicinal plant, which is undemanding and does not require special conditions of growth, thereby excluding the possibility of deterioration of the population during the collection of plant raw materials. The aim of the work is to identify the exact distribution of the studied species by means of actual herbarium specimens. As a result, a map of the studied species' habitats is drawn and the concentration of habitats where the species is most common is seen. According to our data the studied species is often found in the southern part of Almaty city and goes well up to Terskey Alatau, as well as in the north-eastern part of Dzungarian Alatau. .
