	In the book we have generalized information about morpho-biological and ecological-phytocenosis characteristics, dissemination, natural resources conditions and use of 63 species of wild medicinal plant raw materials of Ukraine, we have analyzed determining factors, which influence on the condition and dynamics of the resources of studied species in the conditions of environmental transformation. In resource characterization contains data that shows that we must have limits to use of raw material of particular species, and there are data about status of protection of rare species of plants. There is a map for each plant, which reflectі the availability of resources of the species in some regions of Ukraine, in some cases -dissemination or region of potential resources. Ukrainian and Latin names of plants are given for the modern taxonomic nomenclature of organic. The book is illustrated by pictures and color photographs. For owners and users of natural plant resources, specialists in the field of regulating of using, protection phitoresources of Ukraine, teachers of biological disciplines, scholars and general public of readers. It was approved by the academic Council of N.G. Kholodnyi Institute of Botany NAS of Ukraine.
