With the ever growing population and economic needs of Mauritius, the flora of Mauritius has never been in more danger and one group of vascular plants is even more in peril; ferns.<em> Diplazium proliferum</em> is indigenous to the Mascarene region and is considered as a rare species in Mauritius. The need to develop a tested <em>in vitro</em> propagation protocol is a must to protect the biodiversity of Mauritius. This experiment was geared towards the establishment of a proper sterilization technique and the effect of 6-benzylaminopurine (BAP) and light on <em>in vitro</em> culture of this fern. Sterilization with 0.05% Mercuric chloride was effective to eliminate fungal contamination and allow germination of spores. Culture media supplemented with BAP did not significantly increase growth rate of both gametophytes and sporophytes of<em> D. proliferum</em>. Present results suggest efficient sterilization methods to be a crucial stage for successful<em> in vitro r</em>egeneration of ferns. The established protocol will be used as an optimized baseline protocol for the propagation of other indigenous ferns.

Classification scheme of rare habitats of Europe according to Bern Convention and Habitat Directive of EU was presented for the territory of Drevlianskyi nature reserve. It was shown significant habitat’s diversity of nature reserve from all main types of habitats — water (permanent and temporary lakes (waterbodies), watercources, reedbeds habitats), bog (eutrophic and mesotrophic mires), grassland (dry, mesic and wet grassland, floodplain and fen scrub, heaths), forest (leaved and conifer forests (woodland), rock (rocks and talus of silicate rocks). According to the results of field research, the territory of the reserve represented by 30 habitats (1 — ІІ leaves, 4 — ІІІ leaves, 25 — ІV leaves). It is established that the most common habitat 91T0 (Central European lichen Scots pine forests), which represented by 153 localities in A1C (dry pine forest) on an area of 421.5 ha. It was made a conclusion that the role of rare habitats in nature reserve Drevlianskyi is determinant for conservation of rare species of vascular plants that are protected by the Bern Convention, European Red List and included to the Red Book of Ukraine. The results of the analysis of the role of rare biotopes of Europe in the conservation of species of flora of different protection status on the territory of Drevlianskyi nature reserve show that most of the rare plant species of reserve listed in Resolution № 6 of the Bern Convention (Annex I), revised in 2011, are present in its rare settlements. The role of rare habitats of Drevlianskyi nature reserve in the conservation of rare species of flora is decisive — of the 29 species of plants of supranational and national levels of protection in rare habitats there are 24 species or 82.8% of their total number.

On the territory of the garden and park landscapes of the Middle Pobuzhzhia 31 species of higher vascular plants that have national or regional protection status have been revealed or cited in literature. Of these, 9 species are listed in the current edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine, 10 species have regional protection status in Vinnytsia region and 20 species in Cherkasy region. National Dendrological Park «Sofiyivka» NAS of Ukraine has the largest number of species from the Red Data Book of Ukraine (8 species): Tulipa quercetorum, Euonymus nana, Scopolia carniolica, Allium ursinum, Pulsatilla pratensis, Pulsatilla patens, Trapa natans, Epipactis helleborine, Neottia nidus-avis. Only by one rare species were revealed in the Pechersky (Scopolia carniolica), Sokiletsky (Pulsatilla pratensis), Verkhivsky (Trapa natans) and Kryzhopilsky (Epipactis helleborine) parks. Phytoindication assessment of the identified localities showed that the most of them are on the border or even outside their ecological-coenotic amplitude by one or more factors, which indicates their vulnerability to external influences. Currently, the greatest threat to the existence of species at present is the recreational load, so according to the Law on the Red Data Book of Ukraine, they all need proper protection measures.

Distribution and composition of plant communities of meadows of the river Turja valley in highaltitude range from 150 to 800 m above sea level are presented in the article. According to the floristic classification 53 associations that belong to 13 unions, 7 orders and 4 classes are found out, described, identified and mapped. In the course of the flora studies 375 species of vascular plants, mosses and lichenes are found out. Key words: khorology, meadow communities, river Turja valley, management of meadows, rare species.

The systematic structure of the flora of the Verkhovyna National Nature Park was analyzed, followed by the implementation of criticallytaxonomic, biomorphological, geographical analyzes, and the sosological value of the flora was analyzed.It has been established that 675 species of higher vascular plants belonging to 5 divisions are present in the flora. Dominated by Magnoliophyta – 93.6%, the ratio of Magnoliopsida to Liliopsida is 1: 3.2, which is characteristic of the flora of Central Europe.This is evidenced by the approximately equal age of the flora of NSAIDs, the Ukrainian Carpathians and Central Europe.Therefore, we conducted a systematic analysis that confirmed that the flora of the park is typical Central European with pronounced boreal features. According to the analysis of the geographical structure, the flora of NP Verkhovynskyi was found to be of the Central European type with the predominance of elements of montane, oceanic, temperant and subtemperate flora. At the same time, the composition of species typical for the Euro-Asian boreal subcontinental flora is significant in its composition. The analysis of the ecological structure of the flora indicates the predominance in its composition of mesophytes, mesotrophs, and heliophytes, which is characteristic of the flora of Central Europe. Thus, we conducted a systematic analysis, which confirmed that the flora of Verkhovyna NPP testifies to the Central European character and its belonging to the montane-boreal subtype its found that 71.4 % of the flora species of the Ukrainian Carpathians are threatened globally, 36.4% are endangered on the European scale, 47.8% are endemic and 54.2 % are subendemic within the territory of the park. The highest level of sosological significance is characteristic of the Gnetes-Fatia Banului arrays (63 rare species), Preluki-Hitanka – (53 species).

The data presented here come from field observations, carried out between 2014 and 2017, as part of a LIFE research project aiming to preserve and restore three coastal wetlands of Praia da Vitória (Terceira Island, Azores, Portugal) (LIFE-CWR). A total of 23 vascular plant species surveys were carried out in three sites: one for each semester in Paul da Praia da Vitória (PPV) and Paul da Pedreira do Cabo da Praia (PPCP); one for each semester (except in 2014) in Paul do Belo Jardim (PBJ). The main objectives were to determine the plant richness of the three sites and to monitor yearly variation on species composition. A total of 107 taxa, belonging to 50 families, were observed, many of which are new records for the area, especially in PBJ and PPCP, where 78 and 92% of species records were new. A few very rare species in the Azores were recorded in these coastal wetlands, namely Lotus creticus, Bolboschoenus maritimus, Juncus maritimus and Polygonum maritimum.
