Despite its relatively small territory, the Republic of Armenia is distinguished by an exceptionally rich diversity of plant species and plant communities. This richness is the result of the complex geological structure of the Earth’s crust, the great variability of climatic and soil conditions, the strongly dissected relief, and—most importantly—the country’s geographically favorable position from a florogenetic perspective
