The results of floristic and geobotanic studies made in the central part of the Privolzhskaja upland in July 2014 are presented. A total of 27 local floras were investigated, which recorded 877 species of vascular plants from 422 genera and 105 families, including 130 alien species, and 11 species listed in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation. 9 geobotanical descriptions of steppe vegetation are done. For the first time since 1974 floristic studies natural monument “Kuvayskaya Taiga” (Ulyanovsk region) were conducted. The materials of research allow us to recommend protecting 2 territories as natural monuments of regional significance– “Tract depression” and "Sura chalky slopes" located in Veshkaymskiy and Surskiy Districts of the Ul'ianovsk region.
