A floristic study resulted in a series of data on the flora of Orenburg Oblast, which made it possible to make a set of criteria for updating the list of regional species for conservation. In early 2018, the authors proposed 6 species of vascular plants to be registered in the Red Data Book of Orenburg Oblast including <em>Stipa zalesskii</em> Wilensky,<em> Iris aphylla</em> L., <em>Botrychium lunaria</em> (L.) Sw., <em>Pedicularis palustris</em> L., <em>Saxifraga sibirica</em> L., <em>Salvia glutinosa</em> L. The registration of some of them in the Red Data Book was recommended in view of an increased anthropogenic adverse impact on their habitats and a growing threat of extinction. On September 2018, the proposed Red Data updates for Orenburg Oblast outlined in this article were adopted and approved by the Government of the Orenburg Oblast.</p&gt;}, number={14}, journal={KnE Life Sciences}, author={Kalmykova, O G and Kin, N O and Velmovsky, P V}, year={2019}, month={Nov.}, pages={369-379} }
