title: Data from: Taxonomic corrections and new records for vascular plants of Kyrgyzstan, 6

description: A series of notes on taxonomy, nomenclature, morphology and distributions
 of native species of vascular plants in Kyrgyzstan is presented. Anaphalis
 roseoalba is treated as a synonym of A. virgata; Hippolytia herderi and H.
 megacephala are new synonyms of H. senecionis; Hippolytia darvasica and H.
 schugnanica are new synonyms of H. tomentosa; Campanula capusii is a
 synonym of C. lehmanniana. Allium polyphyllum is the correct name for a
 species related to A. carolinianum, which occurs in the Tian-Shan.
 Hedysarum ledebourii is the correct name for the illegitimate H.
 neglectum. Iris sect. Cristatae has priority over Iris sect. Juno, whereas
 Isis is established as the correct generic name for Phaeiris. Veronica
 tenuissima is a superfluous replacement for V. tetraphylla. Stachys nana
 is proposed as a new combination for the species previously known as
 Hypogomphia turkestana. The illegitimate generic name Chaetolimon (Bunge)
 Lincz. is replaced by the new generic name Hissarolimon, for which two
 species-level combinations are also provided. Authorship and nomenclature
 are clarified or corrected for seven names; spelling is corrected for one
 name. Lectotypes are designated for four names. Ten species are reported
 as new to the country, and the presence of one species is confirmed. Two
 species are excluded from the flora of Kyrgyzstan, and one species is
 excluded from the flora of Uzbekistan. Range extensions in Kyrgyzstan are
 reported for seven species. Distributions in Kyrgyzstan are verified and
 mapped for seven species. Complete distribution ranges are mapped for four
 species. The IUCN conservation status of Iris austrotschatkalica is
 assessed as Critically Endangered because its known populations are
 distantly located and severely affected by land use and development. With
 these additions and corrections, the total number of vascular plant
 species in Kyrgyzstan reaches 4043.
description: The distributional data for vascular plants of Kyrgyzstan have
 originated from our original field work and collection research. The data
 include selected taxa that either represent new country records or have
 been critically revised and inventoried in the course of this study.
 Occurrence data are provided as documentation for each new record or
 revised species distribution information. The occurrence data are based on
 herbarium specimens and documented observations which have been
 taxonomically revised for this study. The information is structured and
 presented according to the DarwinCore format (https://dwc.tdwg.org/),
 using a dedicated template.

 [https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7wt](https://doi.org/10.5061/dryad.x3ffbg7wt) ## Description of the data and file structure The records include the locality data, with a hierarchical attribution to province, country and continent, and also the elevation data in meters and the habitat information when available. The collection information is detailed to collector names (recordedBy) with field numbers when available, and collection dates. The source of documentation (basisOfRecord) is specified for each record as herbarium specimen or human observation. The locality data have been georeferenced either in the field or postfactum on the basis of the available information. Due to the natural data deficiency in some historical specimen labels, some values may be unavailable and coded as empty cells in the dataset. Institution codes denote the museums in which the herbarium specimens are stored, and correspond to herbarium acronyms according to Index Herbariorum ([https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/)](https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/\)) for herbarium specimens; otherwise, these codes denote online resources from which the data have been harvested for evaluation: Plantarium ([https://www.plantarium.ru/](https://www.plantarium.ru/)) and iNaturalist ([https://www.inaturalist.org/)](https://www.inaturalist.org/\)). Museum catalogue numbers are provided for herbarium specimens when available. The occurrence data are linked to accepted taxa. The taxonomic information is detailed to family, genus and species, sometimes also to subspecies or variety, with the indication of the nomenclatural authority (scientificNameAuthorship) and taxon rank. The taxonomic authority (identifiedBy) and the date of taxonomic verification (dateIdentified) is provided for each record.  ## Code/software The data have been collected and processed in MS Excel software. ## Access information Other publicly accessible locations of the data: * [https://archive.org/details/DistributionRecordsOfVascularPlantsInKyrgyzstan](https://archive.org/details/DistributionRecordsOfVascularPlantsInKyrgyzstan)
