For the first time, the Potentilla laciniosa is reported for the flora of Kazakhstan and Altai Mountain Country with the exact location. After a large disjunction of the range, the species was found in the Kyzylbeltau mountains of the Urdzhar region in the southwestern part of the Tarbagatai ridge. Some morphological characters of the new finding are discussed in comparison with closely related taxa and data on the genome size obtained for the first time from seeds using the method of flow cytometry. The lectotypification of Potentilla laciniosa is carried out on the basis on the investigated herbarium material and literature sources.

The study of the formation and spatial distribution of biodiversity is currently one of the most importantproblems of biology. The use of modern GIS-technologies open up the great opportunities for research in the fieldof biogeography and ecology, but it requires a large amount of data on the exact location of the samples. Herbariumcollections are the most reliable source of this data. A detailed research of the model species groups are widely used in thestudy of florogenesis, so, a detailed study of such a model groups distribution seems to be very promising for solution ofbiogeographic problems. The first results of the bluegrass (Poa L.) distribution study within the Altai mountain country,obtained on the basis of local taxonomic database, are presented.

The genus Syngrapha Hübner, [1821] includes about 40 species distributued throughout the Holarctic region, but with only 11 species and 16 subspecies described from Eurasia. Many Syngrapha inhabit the subarctic zone or high elevation mountains. The genus is close to Autographa but differs from it in a variety of male and female genitalic characteristics (see revision of Eurasian fauna by Ronkay & al. 2008). In the course of faunistic studies on Noctuidae of the Altai Mountain Country, an undescribed species of Syngrapha was identified among specimens at the Zoological Museum of the Institute of Systematics & Ecology of Animals Siberian Branch of RAS (SZMN; Novosibirsk, Russia) and at the Zoological Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences (ZISP; Saint-Petersburg, Russia). It is described herein as new. We use the term Altai Mountain Country (Fig. 1) in the geo-botanical sense of Kamelin (1998, 2005) to include: the Russian, Kazakhstanian, Chinese and Mongolian Altai; the mountains of Boundary Dzhungaria (Tarbagatai and branches, Manrak, Semistai and Saur); the Zaisan intermountain depression; the mountains of SW Tyva and the main part of the Western Sayan ridges adjacent to the meridional Shapshal Ridge, north to the Abakan Ridge; east to theYenisey river; and south to the Baitak-Bogdo Ridge and nearby highlands together with the mountains enclosing the depression of the “Dzhungarian Gobi” and the Adzh-Bogd-uul Ridge. The Altai Mountain Country does not include the Kuznetzky Alatau, the steppe depressions of Khakassia and Western Tyva, the Mongolian Big Lakes depression and the Khan-Khuhay Ridge, or the Gobian Altai massif (Kamelin 2005).

Five species of the genus Dasypolia Guenée, 1852 from Russian Altai are reviewed. Two new species, D. maria sp.n. andD. bubnovae sp.n. are described. The status for D. lama Staudinger, 1896 stat. rev. is revised. Differential diagnosis andredescription of the little known species D. tuektiensis Zolotarenko, 1993 are presented. The adults, male and female genitalia of all Altaian and related species are illustrated.

The system of the genus Potentilla L. s. str. and its species composition is given for the flora of the AltaiMountain Country (AMC). The structure of the genus is represented by 11 sections. Multifidae with 33 species is the mostmultitudinous of them. The sections of Fasciculato-pilosae and Fragarioides include one species for each. The generalcomposition of the genus on the territory of the AMC is represented by 78 species and 2 subspecies. Aditionally, forP. × chemalensis, recently described from the Altai Republic, new locations are given.

The herbarium of the South-Siberian Botanical Garden of Altai State University (ALTB) houses the largest collection of plants from the Altai Mountain Country (AMC), an area that extends across Russia, Kazakhstan, Mongolia and China. The collection of ALTB includes more than 450,00 specimens, making it the seventh largest in Russia and the fourth largest amongst Russian university herbaria. Altai State University (ASU), the home of ALTB, is one of the most important centres of academic education and research in Siberia and the Russian Far East. It is a sociocultural centre that provides a distinguished learning environment for undergraduate and graduate students in many scholarly and professional fields, meeting the needs of today's knowledge-based post-industrial society and contributing to regional development. It actively promotes international cooperation and strategic collaboration amongst countries of the AMC in the fields of science, education and culture. In particular, the activities of the South-Siberian Botanical Garden include: development of measures to protect rare and endangered plant species, research on the flora and vegetation of the AMC, preparation and publication of a multi-volume work "Flora Altaica", monographic study of individual plant groups, conducting laboratory classes, summer practicals and special courses. The main purpose of this article is to attract the attention of the scientific community to the botanical research of transboundary territory of the Altai Mountain Country (Russia, Kazakhstan, China and Mongolia) and to the future development of digital plant collections in partnership with Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). The Virtual Herbarium ALTB (Russian interface - altb.asu.ru) is the largest digital collection of plants from the transboundary territory of the Altai Mountain Country and the main source of primary material for the "Flora Altaica" project (http://altaiflora.asu.ru/en/). Since 2017, when Altai State University became a GBIF data publisher, data from the Virtual Herbarium ALTB has been exported to the dataset "Virtual Herbarium ALTB (South-Siberian Botanical Garden)" in GBIF. Currently, it includes images and data from 22,466 vascular plants, of which 67% have geographic coordinates (accessed on 30.03.2021). Most of the specimens have been collected since 1977, with the most intensive collecting years being 1995–2008. In 2019, the label-data table of the Virtual Herbarium ALTB was modified to bring it into conformity with the Darwin Core specification (http://altb.asu.ru/). This effectively solved the major impediment to sharing plant diversity data from the AMC and adjacent regions in a multilingual environment.
