Abstract. The article discusses the geobotanical classification of some species of spring flora formed in the north-eastern region of the Lesser Caucasus in Azerbaijan, vegetation types, phytocenosis and the composition of the flora, morphological structure and distribution of associations. The spring vegetation of the study area is relatively poorly studied. As a result of the research, it was found that the spring flora is dominated by annual and perennial grasses. Also, in order to determine the geographical structure of the species during the research, a comparative analysis of the geographical elements, including the habitat types of the species, was conducted.
Аннотация. В статье рассматривается геоботаническая классификация некоторых видов весенней флоры, сформировавшейся в северо-восточном районе Малого Кавказа в Азербайджане, типы растительности, фитоценозы и состав флоры, морфологическая структура и распространение ассоциаций. Весенняя растительность района исследований изучена сравнительно мало. В результате исследований установлено, что в весенней флоре преобладают однолетние и многолетние травы. Также для определения географической структуры вида в ходе исследования был проведен сравнительный анализ географических элементов, в том числе типов местообитаний вида.
Keywords: spring plant, ephemeroid, formation, association.
Ключевые слова: яровое растение, эфемероид, формация, ассоциация.
The natural territory of the Small Caucasus is located in the north-east on the right bank of the Kura. The area is distinguished by the diversity of natural conditions and the richness of natural resources. The forest, meadow, steppe, desert and semi-desert natural floristic complexes of the Small Caucasus have long attracted the attention of researchers not only as a natural historical monument reflecting the charming beauty of nature, but also with ecologically clean and rich flora. Due to the complex physical and geographical conditions of the Small Caucasus, its vegetation is also very diverse. In particular, the spring flora differs from other plants in the area due to the diversity and richness of species.

Materials and methodology
The object of the research was the vegetation of the ravines of the Khinna gorge. The research material was the flora biodiversity of river basins. Phytocenological descriptions were made within the boundaries of natural vegetation groupings. With the help of the TURBOVEG program, a geobotanical and phytocenological description bank was created and worked on the basis of the MEGATAB program. Abundance of species Braun-Blanquet [4] names of species Flora of Azerbaijan [4], Abstract of Caucasus flora, [1, 3], Gurbanov [2]. To determine the status of rare and endangered species, the Red Data Book IUCN [5] was used. The plants are named after the books "Flora of Azerbaijan" [1950-1961] and "Abstract of Caucasus flora" [2003-2012], "The plant World of Azerbaijan" [3]. General methods accepted in botany, as well as ecological-geographical-morphological, areological, geographical-systematic, statistical-floristic methods were used in the development and determination of materials. Chamber research was conducted at the Department of Botany of Ganja State University.
Ephemerals are widespread in the study area. Ephemerals grow very rapidly and form a dense grass cover that prevents the growth of plants in the meadows in the spring. It grows in a very short time during the season, and some complete the full development period in a few weeks. These are mainly meadow, steppe, forest, steppe, abyss, desert and semi-desert plants. They develop intensively, bloom during the wet period (spring or autumn), give fruit and are completely destroyed during the summer drought. However, some ephemerals disappear completely after flowering and seeding in the flora. Early flowering annual plants are called spring ephemerals.
Ephemerals are of great economic importance. Ephemerals form the basis of the fodder base in winter pastures in Azerbaijan.
Modern phytocenological classification of vegetation of the north-eastern part of the Small Caucasus was carried out at the association level, 43 formations and 57 associations were identified. The Small Caucasus range is 600 km long and consists of characteristic plant groups starting from an altitude of 3700 m.
The spring flora of the study areas mainly belongs to the mesophyte or xero-mesophyte group. Migratory species are also found in the area. The entry of plants into a new area depends on the nature of that area. Growing plants in bare areas depends on the amount of seeds, the direction of the wind, the nature of the soil, the nature of the moisture. At the initial stage of development of the new phytocenosis, light seeds brought by wind predominate. Weeds grow faster in such phytocenoses.
According to the biomorphological characteristics, the spring flora is dominated by annual and perennial grasses. The range of some species is widespread.
