The article discusses the new distribution areas of species belonging to the genus Cardaria Desv. in the flora of the Nakhchivan Botanical-Geographical Region of the South Caucasus (Republic of Azerbaijan). Four species of the genus Cardaria Desv. are recorded in the flora of the Nakhchivan Botanical-Geographical Region: Cardaria boissieri (N. Busch) Soó (Lepidium boisseri N. Busch), Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. (Lepidium draba L.), Cardaria propinqua (Fisch. & C.A. Mey.) N. Busch (L. propinquum (Fisch. & C.A. Mey.)), and Cardaria repens (Schrenk) Jarm. Based on the expeditionary research and collected materials from the mountainous areas surrounding several settlements in the Julfa and Ordubad districts of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic, the following species have been identified: Cardaria boissieri (N. Busch) Soó, Cardaria draba (L.) Desv., Cardaria propinqua (Fisch. & C.A. Mey.) N. Busch, and Cardaria repens (Schrenk) Jarm. Additionally, information about the life forms, phenophases, ecological groups, distribution coordinates, altitude ranges, and geographical elements of the species has been provided. The species composition of the phytocenosis involving the species Cardaria draba (L.) Desv. has been studied, and these data are presented in a tabular format. In addition, information is provided on the distribution of Cardaria Desv. species across the Botanical-Geographical Regions of the Azerbaijani part of the South Caucasus.
