Types of Medicinal Plants of Kyrgyzstan with Sufficient Resource Potential

The flora of Kyrgyzstan includes about 4000 species of higher plants, more than half of which have medicinal properties to some extent. The current status of 23 species of medicinal plants in Kyrgyzstan has been studied, and their resource potential can be successfully used as a reliable source of raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry. The resource potential of each of the studied species was determined using well-known geobotanical methods. As a result, the resource potential of each studied species within the territory of Kyrgyzstan for one growing season was clarified, and information about their botanical, phytogeographical, and economic characteristics as biological species was supplemented. Among the recorded species of medicinal plants of Kyrgyzstan, 9 species have herbs as a source of raw materials, 3 have rhizomes with roots, 3 have roots, and 5 have mature fruits. Such types of raw material sources as flower buds, immature fruits, seeds, milky plant juice, and flowers are represented only in 1 plant species each. The largest amount of raw materials of plant origin is found in Rumex paulsenianus, Echium vulgare, Crataegus turkestanica, and species (there are only 7 of them) representing the genus Rosa. In the rest of the studied plants, this index is relatively lower than in the previous species.
