This checklist documents the vascular plant diversity of the Important Plant Area (IPA) “Tauzholy” (IPA-KZ-AM), located in the south-western environs of Almaty on the northern macroslope of the Zailiyskiy Alatau Range (Northern Tien Shan, Kazakhstan). The site represents one of the few remaining fragments of low-mountain fruit forests and xeropetrophytic communities in the foothills of Almaty and supports a local population of the Kazakh endemic Atraphaxis muschketowii, as well as several endemic, subendemic, and nationally protected species (Prunus armeniaca, Tulipa ostrowskiana, Iris alberti, Euphorbia yaroslavii, Crocus alatavicus, Iris kolpakowskiana).The dataset underpins conservation planning, IPA/KBA assessment, Red List evaluations, and biodiversity monitoring in peri-urban foothill landscapes. It integrates targeted field surveys (2023–2025) with citizen-science observations from iNaturalist (aggregated in GBIF), and published floristic sources.Note on checklist reliabilityThe current species list for the Tauzholy IPA (2023–2025) has undergone critical taxonomic revision with respect to synonymy, nomenclature, and distribution. Records with uncertain identification or locality were excluded. The resulting checklist, published in GBIF, should be regarded as provisional. The authors emphasize that it will be updated and refined as new herbarium specimens and verified photographic observations become available.Content: 114 vascular plant species confirmed (2023–2025), including a set of endemic, nationally rare, and socially valuable taxa.
