Abstract

The paper concerns the current issue of the collection and in-terpretation of the information on the natural resource potential and ecological and geographical properties of the Crimean officinal plants. The data base of officinal plants has been created as a result of this survey for the Republic of Crimea. The taxonomic, ecological and coenotic analysis has been implemented for the wild-growing and cultivitated officinal plants. The distribution scheme was created, showing the number characteristics of officinal plants in different landscapes of Crimea. The officinal plants maximal diversity is concentrated in the mountainous and foothill areas. Here various ecological and coenotic groups of officinal plants are presented.

For the first time, the flora of the Crimean officinal plants has been analysed in terms of diseases classes according to the ICD classification. The Crimean officinal plants are used for curing 10 classes of diseases. The large number of species is used for the treatment of blood circulation system diseases, for stomach and gastro-intestinal tract problems and pipes diseases.

Keywords

officinal wild-growing and cultivated plants, data base, ecological and geographical properties, pharmacological properties.
