The Ukrainian-Swiss model area of the Ugolsky massive of Karpatsky Biosphere Reserve are represent 65 species of the lichens from 43 genera and 25 families. 47 corticolous species are typical lichens of the lower tier in the dark primeval Fagus forest on the mountains slopes of the reserve. 18 saxicolous species were found on limestone outcrops of the model area. Bacidia subincompta (Nyl.) Arnold, Belonia herculina (Rehm ex Lojka) Hazsl, Biatora chrysantha (Zahlbr.) Printzen, Melaspilea gibberulosa (Ach.) Zwackh and Pyrenula nitida are lichen indicators of the ecological continuity of the mature primeval forest of the East Carpathians.

This article elucidates features of branching and seasonal development in Salvia aethiopis L. in the region of Nothern Prichornomorye. All the sprouts have complete development cycle with all buds being vegetative. The four types of sprout rosettes are described. The sprout seasonal development does not fit the annual climarythm completely.

Authors elucidates the problems of syntaxonomy of Cakiletea maritimae and Ammophiletea in Europe. A comparative characteristics and classification of syntaxa mentioned are given.

Revision of Festuco-Limonietea syntaxa in Ukraine is given. Author’s coenotic analysis shows that the class Festuco-Limonietea is a syntaxonomic synonym of Festuco-Puccinellietea. Due to its dominants and edificators, Festuco-Limonietea syntaxa belong to other classes of the steppe vegetation in Ukraine – Festuco-Brometea, Festuco-Puccinellietea, Agropyretea repentis, Salicornietea fruticosae. Syntaxonomic structure of the class Festuco-Puccinellietea is discussed.

In this article, the results of study of androecium and all stages of male generative structures development in Lamium glaberrimum are given. The anthecological morphology of androecium is elucidated. The critical periods of male gametophyte development are revealed.

The results of prolonged influence of low temperatures on 51 varieties of Japanese persimmon (Diospyros kaki L.) in a new introduction area as NBG-NSC scientific farm, Novaya Kakhovka, Kherson region – are reported.

New distributional, ecological and coenotic data concerning two orchids ofPivdenny Bug region are reported.

A scheme of the econet of South Besarabia has been developed. Covering of especially environmentally valuable locations of the region with natural vegetation by the econet's ecosystems, stimulation of settling conditions and migration of species as well as guaranteeing of their restoration, conservation and protection of their habitats is its destination. Special significance is that it is developed for the region with environmentally vulnerable and excessively degraded ecosystems. A floristic and phytocoenotic characteristic of the econet's components is represented in the article.

Teplynska Dacha and Mayatska Dacha forests are situated in the nothern part of Donetsk oblast. They are the largest broadleaved woods in the steppe zone of Ukraine. Quercus robur and Fraxinus excelsior are the main dominants in the tree layer of these forests. The grass layer is formed mainly by Aegpodium podagraria, Asarum europaeum, Carex pilosa, Melica picta, Stellaria holostea, Anemone ranunculoides, Corydalis solida, Dentaria quinquefolia, Scilla sibirica. 34 phytosocilogical relevés are presented in the article. They are refered to ass. Stellario holosteae-Aceretum platanoidis Bayrak 1996 (all. Aceri campestris-Quercion, ord. Fagetalia sylvaticae), Tulipo quercetorum-Quercetum roboris ass. nov. prov. (all. Aceri campestris-Quercion, ord. Fagetalia sylvaticae), Fritlillario ruthenicae-Quercetum roboris ass. nov. prov (all. Aceri tatrici-Quercion). Ass. Stellario holosteae-Aceretum platanoidis prevails on this area. This is a zonal association of the forest-steppe zone in the eastern part of Ukraine. Ass. Tulipo quercetorum-Quercetum roboris is a more southern association with a lesser number of Fagetalia sylvaticae species, a considerable number of nitrophilous species and a high constancy of Tulipa quercetorum. It is a transitional community to all. Aceri tatarici-Quercion. Ass. Fritlillario ruthenicae-Quercetum roboris occupies dry soils. Its differential species are Caragana frutex, Cotinus coggygria, Euphorbia semivillosa, Festuca rupicola, Fritillaria ruthenica, Gagea pusilla, Ligustrum vulgare.

69 lichen species of national nature park «Svyaty Gory» are reported. Among them 37 species are new to the park territory, 26 – new to Donetsk chain of hills, 3 – new to the steppe zone of Ukraine and 1 species – new to the Ukrainian plains. Difficulties in identification of doubtful Ascomycota “Lecidea lichenicola” are discussed. Comparative phytogeographical and ecological analysis of the lichens are provided.

Data on 25 species of lichenized and lichenicolous fungi new to the Crimean Peninsula, collected during Czech and Ukrainian-Czech lichenological excursions in June 2006 and May 2007 respectively, are provided.
