Abstract
The paper summarizes the data on the distribution of Medicago × varia Martyn that has formed in the south of Siberia over the past 25 years, and presents new locations of variegated alfalfa in the Kemerovo and Irkutsk regions, Krasnoyarsk Territory, republics of Buryatia and Tyva, identified during a collecting mission organized in 2024 by the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources of the Russian Federation.
Supporting agencies: The work was done within the framework of the Development Program of the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources supported by the Ministry of Science and Higher Education of the Russian Federation under Agreement No. 075-02-2024-1415 of Feb. 15, 2024.
