Our research has shown that weather factors (temperature and precipitation) have an impact on the seasonal development of shoots and plant size. The number of shoots is influenced by the weather conditions of the previous growing season, namely: the temperature of the first decade of August influences positively while early autumn frosts and the amount of precipitation of the entire period do negatively. A negative correlation was found between the number of flowering shoots and the temperature of the second decade of July of the previous growing season and a positive relationship between the number of juvenile plants and the precipitation of August of the previous growing season. Fruit set was quite low (17.1%), which is typical for this species. The pollination efficiency of C. guttatum was negatively affected by the high temperature during its flowering (the second decade of June). One box contained an average of 4065 seeds. The real seed productivity per shoot varied from 1989 to 7064 pcs., it is associated with precipitation in the second decade of July of the current growing season. The high number of the population studied (25 thousand shoots), the correspondence of the ontogenetic spectrum to the basic one of the species, the annual presence of juvenile plants of seed origin indicates its stable condition.

These species are protected in neighboring regions as well – the Tambov, Voronezh, Penza regions and others. The species are of high ornamental value, which is another factor besides the narrow ecological amplitude of the plants. G. tenuis, I. halophila, and D. incarnata are demanding to moisture and soil fertility, have high numbers, and create aspects. In the cenopopulations of the studied plants a process of self-renewal proceeds, which is not hampered by anthropogenic factors, as the tract is far from settlements and is swampy in some places. The morphometric indices of the rare species correspond to their biology. The ontogenetic status of the species cenopopulations is characterized by a single-vertex spectrum with a high proportion of individuals of generative fractions: 49.4% for G. tenuis, 40.0% for D. incarnate, and 62.2% for I. halophila, respectively. According to T. A. Rabotnov’s classification, the cenopopopulations of the studied species are normal incomplete-membered. According to L. A. Zhivotovsky’s delta–omega classification, the cenopopulations of G. tenuis and D. incarnata are old; while that of I. halophile is aging. The studied cenopopulations of rare plants are stable in time and space. It is necessary to declare the tract “Bolshiye Mochazhiny” a natural monument of regional importance.

It was established that according to this molecular feature, the studied Caucasian population belongs to the southern grouping of the species, covering, in addition to the Caucasus, samples from the basins of the Lower (Rostov region) and Middle Don (Lugansk region) and presumably from the Lower Volga region, and differs from samples from the northern parts of the range in the Central Chernozem Zone (Kursk and Belgorod region). In the S. strandi population from the southwestern periphery of the range, a number of environmental and biological characteristics (biotopic confinement, population composition, abundance, diurnal, seasonal activity, reproduction, and nutrition) considered in a comparative aspect in connection with the genetic differentiation of the species were studied for the first time.
