The natural flora of the Vedensky biological reserve (Chechen Republic) has been studied, including 1543 species of vascular plants from 545 genera and 119 families. 12 large families (Asteraceae, Poaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Brassicaceae, Rosaceae, Apiaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Boraginaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Ranunculaceae, Rubiaceae) including 492 species, and 20 large genera (Astragalus, Rosa, Orobanche, Medicago, Carex, Trifolium, Hieracium, Vicia, Allium, Stipa, Geranium, Festuca, Veronica, Artemisia, Viola, Poa, Centaurea, Euphorbia, Galium, Orchis) uniting 166 species are specified. By the dominant large families, the flora belongs to the Mediterranean type, and by the set of families of the head spectrum part and the prevailing geo-elements, it is Caucasian-Palaearctic one. Among the 7 florocoenotypes represented here, the rocky-talus and shrub-fringe ones prevail with significant participation of the meadow florocoenotype. More than half of the flora (54.53 %) is occupied by hemicryptophytes, and half as much as they – by terophytes (26.79 %); phanerophytes (9.2 %), cryptophytes (7.14 %), and hamephites (2.34 %) are less common. Herbaceous plants make up 88.46 %, trees and shrubs - 9.20 %, and subshrubs and dwarf shrubs - 2.34 % of the flora. The flora is rich in resource-useful species: 157 food, 288 fodder, 178 medicinal, 120 poisonous, 202 melliferous, 314 decorative, and 81 industrial plants.
