Abstract:

In the Ukrainian Carpathians 12 species of the genus Aconitum occur, circumscribed within three subgenera. General description, ecological characteristic, chorology and threat to 20 Aconitum taxa are given based on the herbarium materials and field investigations. It has been found that all the studied taxa belong to three ecological groups distributed in altitudinal belts, to four biomorphological groups and to two main living forms.
