Abstract

The nomenclature of the vascular plants in dataset follows «Nomenclatural Checklist of vascular plants of Ukraine» (Mosyakin & Fedoronchuk 1999). The reserve is subordinated to the State Enterprise "Kakhovka Forestry" of the Kherson Regional Forestry and Hunting Department. The reserve has a significant number of rare species of plants and animals and a certain number of rare plant formations included in environmental protection documents. The total number of natural flora species is 118, including 6 endemic species. The following endemic plant species are included in the European Red List.
