For the flora of the reserve, information is provided on 16 new and 2 rare taxa of vascular plants. Recently, Alchemilla vorotnikovii, Carex spicata, Doronicum pardalianches, Galeopsis ladanum, Hylotelephium telephium, Impatiens parviflora, Lamium album, and Rosa spinosissima were spotted for the first time; several taxa are new for the Republic of Karelia as a whole: Cucurbita maxima, Hyacinthus orientalis, Monarda didyma, and Prunella grandiflora. Two species were discovered for the first time in the reserve’s buffer zone: Asplenium viride and Lathyrus sylvestris. There are also reports of repeated discoveries of some of the rarest species: Schedonorus arundinaceus and the aggressive invasive species Impatiens glandulifera. A. viride and L. sylvestris are native species, and the rest are unintentional introductions or escapees from cultivation. A. viride is listed in the regional Red Data Book.
