This paper is a summary of literature reviews concerning the diversity of medicinalplants and the results of our many years studies. It includes scientific and practical justificationsof the importance of monitoring species diversity of the studied object. Results of monitoring thespecies composition of wild medicinal plants in some areas of the southern slope of the GissarRange are specified. As a result of studying 11 gorges (Gazhne, Safedchashma, Gusgarf, Shamal,Obi-Zugora, Gulobod, Yos, Yavroz, Semiganch, Odzhuk, Magov), 174 species of medicinalplants were found that belong to different botanical taxa. This number of plants includesrepresentatives of 106 genera belonging to 46 families, among which representatives of the asterfamily predominate: Asteraceae (36 species), Rosaceae (19 species), Lamiaceae (16 species), etc.Compared with the number of known plants growing within the territory of the Republic ofTajikistan, the number of species found was 11.6%. In relation to the number of plants that arerecognized as medicinal in the world, species diversity of the southern slopes of Gissar Range isless than one percent. However, the number of species is comparable to locations with similarclimatic conditions.
