Abstract: Trifolium L. is one of the genera of the Fabacaea Juss. family that have important forage value. Of the 300 species of this genus, distributed in cold, temperate and subtropical regions of the world, 59 species are found in the Caucasus and 43 species in Azerbaijan. Based on recent studies and literature data, it has become known that 18 species of the genus TrifoliumL. are common in the flora of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic. Clover species are productive, nutritious and high-quality forage plants for pastures and meadows, and also play a leading role in strengthening the forage base of livestock farming. Therefore, it is important to explore the possibilities of collecting, studying, restoring and effectively using the gene pool of these valuable forage plants.
