During the monitoring of rare plant species in the Maykop region of the Republic of Adygea, known and discovered new locations of P. chlorantha were confirmed, for which the height above sea level and geographical coordinates were determined. The identification of the species to a certain range of altitudes above sea level and types of phytocenoses was revealed. Ongenetic states, ontogenetic structure and intraspecific variability of P. chlorantha were studied in populations.

Populations of Paeonia caucasica (Schipcz.) Schipcz., 1937 growing in various forest phytocenoses were discovered and studied during the monitoring of protected plant species in the Republic of Adygea. The allocation of the species to a certain range of altitudes above sea level and types of communities were defined. The ontogenetic structure and states of plants were identified, and the state of P. caucasica populations was assessed.
