There is also a wide variety of endemic plants of more than 500 species in reserves, national parks and botanical gardens. The main part of the desert of Uzbekistan is located on the expanses of the Kyzylkum desert. Particularly interesting zones in the Kyzylkum desert are the remains of mountain ranges (maximum height: no more than 750 meters) and vegetation in Tugai (local name of a dry river vegetation).
