Abstract: The Gurbantungut Sandy Desert in Northern Xinjiang occupies a transitional position between the Central-Asian and Kazakhstan Deserts in its flora as well as vegetation, yet has its unique characteristics.The vegetation of the sandy district of Gurbantungut consists mainly of 9 communities and 3 congregations. Because of the differences in natural conditions, flora and plant communities among different parts, the Gurbantun- gut may be subdivided into 3 phytogeographical subregions; Southwestern, Southeastern and Northern.In a detailed scheme of division of Asian deserts, the Jungar Basin including Gurbantungut may be divided as an independent phytogeographical unit, parallel with Central-Asian, Kazakhstan and Middle-Asian Deserts.
