ABSTRACT. This work describes the taxonomic contributions of species belonging to the genus
Pyrus L. in the northeastern part of the Greater Caucasus region of Azerbaijan. The study includes
morphological descriptions, and taxonomic characteristics of five Pyrus species researched in
the Guba and Khizi regions. These species are taxonomically recognized as a cohesive group and
were examined in their natural habitats. Previous studies indicate that these species can produce
viable crops in both natural and cultural environments, highlighting their adaptability. Certain
morphological differences among the species align with expected biological variability. This research
contributes to the understanding of Pyrus taxonomy and morphology in this unique ecological
area, offering valuable insights for conservation and sustainable management of local biodiversity.
