In this paper we consider the structure of the universal synonymical and alternative-synonimical informational system. The purpose of the system is to store any information in the field of natural sciences. We describe main and associated storage objects, types of the tables for input/output and data structure of the basic dictionary of species, auxiliiary dictionaries, bibliographies and blocks of temporl-spatial spread.

The article presents the results of the analysis of the species composition of invasive flora of the Russian Black Sea coast. Bioclimatic, ecological and geographical requirements for the most aggressive invasive species are given. Most subjects of invasive species naturalized in the south of the Russian Black Sea coast, historically confined to the biome deciduous temperate forests. Bioclimatic conditions of the south of the Russian Black Sea coast are suitable for the majority of alien species that creates the preconditions for the further spread of these species in the course of human development of the territory. As a result of climate change, conditions in the south of the Russian Black Sea will become even more comfortable for the spread of invasive species.

At present, one of the problems of documenting collections of botanical gardens is the absence of systematization of plants, which would be generally accepted by the scientific community. Database information retrieval system "THEPLANTLIST is used to manage collections of the parks "Dendrarium" and "Southern cultures" of Sochi national Park. Database THEPLANTLIST was recommended by the Council of Botanical gardens of Russia, Belarus and Kazakhstan to verify the nomenclature of the taxa. Additional sources are Database Germplasm Resources Information Network (GRIN), Agricultural Department and RHS Plant Finder and Royal horticultural society. Alongside, we cannot reject the system of Asian botanists, because it limits the collections and will cause problems when restoring data. Monitoring collections is achieved by using applications developed on the basis of the geographic information system ArcGIS. Documenting botanical collections at the modern stage depends on subjective views of botanist.
