Abstract: The paper describes 8 new distribution areas of 3 species (O. altissima, O. Michauxii, and O. buhseana) of sainfoin, their bioecological and phytocenological characteristics. The new distribution areas cover the northern part of the Lesser Caucasus, Talysh, and Nakhchivan regions. The goal is to clarify the distribution areas of the sainfoin species in the flora of Azerbaijan and to distinguish for selection species more resistant to drought and frost. The article provides a new distribution map of the collected species of sainfoin, a table with environmental information and photos.
