The article presents the results of a study of the vegetation cover within the Russian Caucasus. The natural belts present on this territory are listed-steppe, forest, oeroxerophyte belt, subalpine, alpine. A brief description of each of them is given-distribution over altitude levels and different territories (subjects) of the North Caucasus, distinctive features of vegetation cover, plant communities and groupings along altitudinal belts and in the longitudinal direction. Typical representatives of the flora of the territories under consideration are listed, among which relics, endemics, economically useful and rare species are widely represented. The materials of the article can be taken into account when monitoring the state of the populations of these species and the vegetation cover in general in the subjects of the North Caucasus.
