The concept of equivalence classes and factor-sets, known from ensemble theory, is introduced in application to the theory and practice of botanical investigations. The properties of taxonomic, typological and gradient factor-sets and their connection with the comparative floristic and phytoindicative analysis are considered. Upsized groups of regimes for 10 ecological factors of D. N. Tsyganov's phytoindicative scales are proposed. Computer realization of processing the data on plant cover with the help of factor-sets in the integrated botanical information information system IBIS is described.
