Abstract

The article contains generalized information about distribution of Muscari botryoides (L.) Mill. in Ukraine. It listed in the third edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine with the conservation status "disappearing". It is protected in the «Mocharka» and «Shyiania» nature reserves. The Red Data Book of Ukraine contains information that the studied species grows only in the Zakarpattia region. A small number of publications dated after 1960 concerning to M. botryoides attest about the necessity of studying this species in order to obtain information about its current distribution in Ukraine. The work purpose was to generalize the literature and herbarium data about M. botryoides distribution in Ukraine. After processing literature data and herbarium materials (LWS, CHER, UU) a list of localities and a distribution map of M. botryoides in Ukraine have been compiled. It is established that the species exist not only in the Zakarpattia region, but also grows in the Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi and Ternopil regions. M. botryoides grows in light xerothermic oakerys, outskirts, secondary forest cenosis on rich warm brown soils, formed on deluvium of igneous rocks, in Querco-Fagetea and Quercetea pubescentis communities, occasionally in the communities with Robinia pseudoacacia. Species also grows in meadow steppes, steppe and after-forest meadows, on karsts outcrops. It prefers xeremosephytic environmental conditions. In general, 15 localities of the species have been found in Ukraine. Over the past 20 years only 3 sites have been documentally confirmed: in Bushtyno Urban-type settlement (Tiachiv district of Zakarpattia region), Kholmovets village (Vynohradiv district of Zakarpattia region) and between Drachyntsi and Kostyntsi villages Chernivtsi regions. Also 5 new localities have been found: in Probabyn village (Horodenka District, Ivano-Frankivsk Region), in Vyshnivka and Krasnostavtsi villages (Sniatyn District, Ivano-Frankivsk Region), in Onok village (Vynohradiv District, Zakarpattia Region) and in the NNP "Synevyr" (Mizhhirsky and Khust districts of Zakarpattia region).
