The paper describes the distribution of the endemic steppe species Hedysarum argyrophyllum Ledeb. The potential range of the species includes the southern tip of the Southern Urals and reaches the south of the Bugulmino-Belebeyevskaya Upland. Isothermality and temperature seasonality proved to be the most significant factors for the species distribution model. These factors reflect the confinement of the species to continental climate conditions. In the west, the potential range coincides with the eastern part of the range of the closely related species Hedysarum grandiflorum Pall., however the two species differentiate geographically and ecologically.
