All known data about the isolated West Siberian population of shining spurge (Euphorbia lucida Waldst. et Kit.) (protected rare species of Tyumen flora) is given: namely, 17 marks in books and articles (1891-2011 yrs.), 116 herbarium speciments (collected in 1818-2013 yrs), photographs, field-works materials. E. lucida occurs in 5 administrative districts of Tyumen Region (Nizhnetavdinskiy, Yarkovskiy, Tyumenskiy, Yalutorovskiy, Zavodoukovskiy and probably Tobolskiy district as well) within a 250-kilometer stretch of the Tobol river basin and its tribu-taries. Generally it’s in sub-taiga region (aspen-birch forests zone), but partially it’s in the southern taiga. It is very active in these places and occurred even in disturbed habitats. Its habitat registered within the boundaries of a large city of Tyumen, being an apophytes. Perhaps nowadays it presents in Zauralie (Sverdlovskii region), where it was gathered only once in 1885. Horology and ecological confinement are recom-mended for E. lucida, the problem of aboriginals or adventive species in the regional flora is discussed, preservation means are proposed, opinion about this spurge neces-sity as part of the list of plants of the Red Book of the Tyumen region is supported.

The paper presents floristical data on three wildlife preserves (Atleka Reserve, Verkhne-Andomskiy Reserve, Soydozerskiy Reserve) and their outskirts, located in the Vologda Region part of Andomskaya Height. There fore the height presents flora atypical for the rest of the Vologda Region.

Flora of Andomskaya Height has specific features such as presence of relict species belonging to paludal, water, forest border and ruderal complexes. Minor representa-tion of apophytes and segetal weeds was revealed as for a long time there had been no agricultural load on surrounding meadows and forests. A few mires have aapa mire features. Dendrochronological analyses revealed that particular intact pineries were of the age of more than 350 years.
