Abstract
The article presents the results of long-term (from 1981 to 2023) flora studies of Shcherbakovsky Nature Park, located on the right bank of the Volga River in the north of the Volgograd region. The flora of this region includes 932 species belonging to 104 families. Among them, 32 species are included in the Red Books of the Russian Federation and that of the region: Delphinium puniceum, Eriosynaphe longifolia, Hedysarum grandiflorum, H. razoumovianum, Iris pumila, Otites hellmannii, Pulsatilla pratensis, Stipa pulcherrima, etc. Many species have western, eastern, southeastern and southern distribution limits on the Russian Plain. The family spectrum of the flora under consideration allows to to attribute it to Mediterranean-type floras (Fa-type).
Acknowledgments: The author expresses sincere gratitude to the staff of the State Budgetary Institution of the Volgograd region “Shcherbakovsky Nature Park”, first of all to its director Maria A. Glodenko, head of the Department of environmental measures Olga V. Mazina, chief specialists of the Department of environmental measures Alexey N. Kapustin and Nadezhda V.

Reshetnikova (Main Botanical Garden RAS, Moscow) for constructive criticism of the manuscript “Synopsis…” and valuable comments on the nomenclature of some taxa.
