The article reports 85 important records of 54 species of vascular plants, bryophytes, lichens and fungi made in the Murmansk Region in 2023–2024. The fungus Johnstonella xylostei was found in the region for the first time. New locations of rare species of fungi (Cyanosporus alni, Hyphoderma medioburiense, Phaeolus schweinitzii, Sistotrema muscicola, Tomentella terrestris), lichens (Absconditella delutula, A. lignicola, Acarospora nitrophila, Biatora ementiens, Chaenotheca stemonea, Coenogonium pineti, Micarea ternaria, Pertusaria bryontha, P. ophthalmiza, Placidium rufescens, Trimmatothelopsis rhizobola), mosses (Sphagnum quinquefarium), and vascular plants (Carex scandinavica, Callitriche hermaphroditica), previously known from several other locations, have been recorded. Seven species of lichens are recorded for the first time in the Khibines (Absconditella delutula, Acarospora nitrophila, Biatora ementiens, Coenogonium pineti, Micarea ternaria, Pertusaria bryontha, P. ophthalmiza). Five species of fungi, two lichens and one vascular plant species were encountered for the first time for the Simbozersky Nature Reserve (Sanctuary); two species of vascular plants are new for the Murmansky Tundrovy Nature Reserve (Sanctuary). New data are reported about regionally red-listed species (Hericium coralloides, Chaenotheca brachypoda, Buxbaumia aphylla, Mnium hornum, Trichodon cylindricus, Kurzia pauciflora, Cephaloziella elachista, Prasanthus suecicus, Carex glacialis, C. holostoma, C. lapponica, C. laxa, Cassiope tetragona, Cotoneaster cinnabarinus, Dactylorhiza incarnatа, Isoetes echinospora, I. lacustris, Lonicera altaica, Micranthes tenuis, Papaver dahlianum, Pinguicula villosa, Polystichum lonchitis, Pseudorchis albida, Salix arbuscula, S. arctica, Sceptridium multifidum, Stuckenia pectinata, Thalictrum kemense, Veronica fruticans, Woodsia glabella).
