Populations of rare species of spontaneous flora in the M. M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv)
Abstract
The review of protected plant species from the spontaneous flora of the M. M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden NAS of Ukraine (Kyiv) is given. In the spontaneous flora of the botanical garden 41 native species and ergasiophytes, which formed spontaneous populations in indigenous and artificial plant communities, are fixed. The most valuable are the species from the Red Data Book of Ukraine: Allium ursinum, Epipactis helleborine, Muscari botryoides, Taxus baccata and Tulipa biebersteiniana. Brief quantitative and structural characteristics of the populations of these species are given. Also, the spontaneous flora includes 10 regionally rare native species, the habitats of which are natural in the botanical garden, and 26 species introduced from different regions of the Temperate Zone of Eurasia. Several rare introduced species that are at the stage of going beyond the limits of culture are considered. Aboriginal rare species that have disappeared from the modern flora of the botanical garden are mentioned. The presence of spontaneous populations of rare plant species on the territory of the botanical garden is a manifestation of a high level of ex situ conservation.
