Abstract

The article presents the results of monitoring the flora of the Botanical Garden-Institute of the Far Eastern Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (FEB RAS), during which 25 species of vascular plants previously not observed on its territory were identified. Among the new species, alien (13) and apophytes (9) prevail. Three species are native, one of which is included in the new list of plants in the “Red Book of Primorsky Krai”. In the group of alien species, eight species are invasive. Almost all of them are included in the “Black Book of Flora of the Far East” and pose a potential threat to the natural ecosystems of the Botanical Garden. By analyzing of herbarium collections and field observations, the likely pathways of introduction for the alien species were reconstructed.
