Floristic compendium “Flora of Central Siberia” published in 1979 was the first experience of floristic grid mapping on territory of Russia. The compendium contents grid maps for 1284 species and subspecies, representing 53.8 % of the fl ora. The grid system used in compendium coincides with nomenclature and national grid system of Russian geographical maps that allowed us to determine coordinates of grids and perform geographical binding of 34 893 records of mapped species. Accuracy indication of coordinates depends on the size of grid and is ±(14-18) km for the compendium. Such accuracy is quite acceptable for small-scale mapping of distribution areas of species of such large area as Central Siberia. The created database can become the basis for organizing the comprehensive information system on localities of vascular plant species within the region. Such a system is needed for various tasks of botany, biogeography, ecological modeling and nature conservation.
The results of study of chionophilous meadows of the Altai-Sajan Mountain Area have been generalized. Th eir species composition revealed on the base of 74 geobotanical releves. Alpine and arctoalpine species form the basis for thecoenoflora. Structural organization of chionophilous meadows is considered, a dendrogram refl ecting levels of structural organization of syntaxa is built on thebase of Jaccard coeffi cient.
The best time for a propagation of Myricaria bracteata and M. longifolia hardwood cuttings in Novosibirsk is the first decade of May. Cuttings that are planted in expanded clay and sand root well. A small concentration of growth stimulator IBA (Indole-3-butyric acid) doesn’t have an evident impact on the number of rooted cuttings. However, it contributes to development of a more powerful root system. High concentrations of IBA inhibit the process of root formation and at increased concentrations a basal part of a cutting dies off. Use of IBA water solution turn out to be more effi cient than after treatment with alcoholic solution or powder.
The characteristics of rare species of gasteroid basidiomycetes which recommended for inclusion in the new edition of Red Book of Russia and discussed in the framework of the Global Fungal Red List Initiative are listed. In total 6 species of gasteromycetes are described: Bovista acuminata (Bosc) Kreisee, B. paludosa Lév. , Gastrosporium simplex Mattir., Geastrum hungaricum Hollós, G. pseudolimbatum Hollós, Phellorinia herculeana (Pallas:Pers.) Kreisel. The article provides detailed information on the distribution of the listed gasteromycetes in Russia and around the world, outlines the key threats and specifies the category. Two species discussed in the Initiative ( Ge astrum pouzarii V.J. Stanék, Myriostoma coliforme (Dicks.) Corda) are excluded from the analysis as fairly common for Russia. Additionally, authors presents arguments for changing of the category for two species included in Red Book of Russia. Namely, we recommending to exclude Dictyophora duplicata (Bosc) E. Fisch. from red list and category changing for Geastrum fornicatum (Huds.) Hook. с 3 до 5.
The spatial organization of the assimilative tissue in the glumes at festucoid grasses on the example of 12 species of wild-growing plants is investigated. The basic form of assimilative cells and their location in space of glumes are considered. It is shown that the assimilative cells of leaf blades differ from the corresponding cells of glumes diff er mainly in smaller sizes and complicated spatial configurations, up to formation of the forms having complex projections in two directions. The tendency to strengthening of shadow features in the structural organisation of chlorophyll-containing parenchyma is traced, that is caused by increase in a share of the cells which are carrying out a role of a spongy tissue.

Authentic morphological characteristics of plants of Onobrychis miniata Stev. have been determined. Th ey allow to the differentiation of age condition. O. miniata are characterized by the monocentric biomorph type. Compiled age spectra of populations of the species growing in different ecological and cenotic conditions of the Crimean Peninsula. Most studied coenopopulations O. miniata are polnochlennymi definitive mature or young.
Analysis of the labels, maps and manuscript describing of the route by K.A. Sobolevskaya suggest that the type specimens of Saussurea ceterachifolia Lipsch., on the base of which this species is included in the Red Data Book of Tyva Republic and the Red Data Book of Russian Federation, could be collected on the territory of Mongolia not far from the state border.
Ontomorphogenesis of Allium macleanii J.G. Baker individuals was studied in the mountains of Central Tajikistan. The structure of the bulbs was described in the ontogeny of the individual. Ontogenetic structure of four coenopopulations was characterized. It was found that all coenopopulations are not complete and the young. Th e sharp drop of the generative individuals number was connected with the intensive anthropogenic infl uence, namely the harvesting of bulbs of the local population.
Special review dedicated to alpine flora of Tukuringra Range was published more than forteen years ago. Presented study updates and summarizes information about alpine flora of this area. Based on original field data, collections and literature annotated check-list counted 143 species was made. Carex brunnescens , C. magellanica subsp. irrigua , Lycopodium juniperoideum , Salix divaricata subsp. kalarica founded at first time on Tukuringra Range. Classification of alpine plants habitats was compiled, floristic analysis was done.
The syntaxonomical diversity of two forest classes in Burla ribbon pine forest was described on the base of big set of original data. 6 new syntaxa are described. Pyrolo-Pinetea class is near its northern limit and presented by one association with some features intermediate with Vaccinio-Piceetea communities. Plant communities from Vac cinio-Piceetea class predominate in vegetation and are presented by five associations different by their habitats. Spatial distribution of syntaxa according to the position in relief and forest massif structure was given.
