The vegetation of Shamakhi district was analyzed in the villages of Angakharan, Melham, Chukhuryurd, Akhmedly and Talishnuru. The floristic analysis allowed us to release a list of 27 taxa distributed in 23 genera and 13 families. According to the taxonomic studies, useful plants belonging to the following families were found in Shamakhi district: Boraginaceae Juss., Asteraceae Giseke, Caprifoliaceae Juss., Polygonaceae Juss., Apiaceae Lindl., Rosaceae Juss., Verbenaceae J.St.-Hil., Rubiaceae Juss., Hypericaceae Juss., Fabaceae Juss., Lythraceae J.St.-Hil., Malvaceae Juss., Lamiaceae Martinov. The most represented families are Asteraceae Giseke and Fabaceae Juss. Achillea L., Prunus L., Trifolium L., Lotus L. and Lythrum L. were represented by two species each. Inula helenium L., Daucus carota L., Dipsacus laciniatus L., Agrimonia eupatoria L., Trifolium medium L., Lotus dorycnium L. were dominant species in phytocenosis. The result of analysis revealed three types of plant community such as: Inula helenium + Dipsacus laciniatus + Rumex crispus, Dipsacus laciniatus + Rumex crispus, Lotus dorycnium + Trifolium medium + Agrimonia eupatoria. It was found that the basis of the flora is made up of hemicryptophytes (67%). It was determined that perennial herbaceous plants predominate in the studied areas. According to their beneficial properties, 10 species were classified as fodder, 8 as medicinal, 5 as edible, and 3 species were classified as species that can be used as both feed and edible plants.
