We studied geographical distribution of species of three sections of the genus Astragalus L. – Macrocystis Popov, Laguropsis Bunge and Chaetodon Bunge (Fabaceae) in Mountain Middle Asian province. All specimens stored in basic herbaria of Middle Asia (TASH, AA) and Russia (LE, MW) were analyzed, and a database using geographic information systems (GIS) software was established. As a result, we identified and mapped 47 taxa, 35 of which are endemic of the province; new species for the flora of Uzbekistan (A. artemisiformis Rassulova, A. monanthemus Boiss.) and some local floras were revealed. We evaluated the conservation status of the taxa at a national level using recent IUCN Red List categories.
