The Caucasus wad have great biologic and cultural multifariousness . In the Caucasic region ( Circaucasia , Transcaucasia incl . the Little Caucasus ) the numbers of higher flora species are estimated to 6500 with a significant share of autochthonic and sub autochthonous specie . There is also a huge cultural diveristy – approx . 170 different nations and languages ( ! ) . come to landscape and scenic beauty Caucasus belong to the most beautiful mountain in the world . It has dimension of high Asian stack ( the highest peak – Elbrus 5600 m above s.l . ) with an panoptic glaciation , hold rich and bass forest like some of the mountains on the Balkan Peninsula in Europe and in the same time has preponderantly dry and sunny conditions in summer .
Despite of this unique compounding of favorable lifelike factors the Caucasus neighborhood has been extensively omit by „ plant hunter “ , traveller and rock gardeners from the western country until now . It is most potential due to the situation in some parts of that area – since 1988 there exist 4 latent war region there : Nagorny Karabach , Chechenia , South Ossetia and Abkhazia . An significant reason is also the inaccessibility of the Caucasus Main Range – the more than 1500 km long reach is interbreed only by two route approachable for auto , the crest of the mountains can in most example be achieved only underway or on a horse or donkey .
There have been no books published containing a significant number of in high spirits character pictures of the Caucasoid plants at all until now . The books from the 19 . century written mostly in German and Latin as well as the productive botanic literature from the 20 . century written mostly in Russian and Georgian stop mostly drawings of unlike quality or black and blank photographs often support on a poor impression tone . The large photographic material pull together by many Czech travellers and botanists during their journeys to the Caucasus in the last 20 years make it now potential to publish a handsome picture Scripture commit to the beautiful Caucasian mount plant .
