The area is about 30,000 hectares and its vascular flora has been studied during 2011–12. In the present study, a total of 1876 plant specimens were collected and 529 taxa, belonging to 345 genera and 76 families were identified. The life form rates of the taxa are as follows: therophytes (40.6%), hemicryptophytes (30.92%), cryptophytes (13.47%), chamaephytes (8.91%), and phanerophytes (6.07%), respectively. Large families in terms of number of genera and species are Asteraceae (76 species), Fabaceae (48 species), Poaceae (45 species), Lamiaceae (38 species), Brassicaceae (27 species), Apiaceae (24 species), Caryophyllaceae (21 species), and Boraginaceae (17 species). The richest genera are Astragalus (21 species) Cousinia, Centaurea, Euphorbia, Scorzonera, and Silene (seven species each), Allium, Cyperus, and Nepeta (six species each). Among biogeographical regions, the main phytogeographical affinity of the species, was Irano-Turanian (55.59%).In addition, 80 taxa (15.12%) were considered as endemic to Iran.   %U https://rostaniha.areeo.ac.ir/article_125478_d813806cf1867727609cee0388c6c6f4.pdf
