Abstract
The paper provides information on the distribution of coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara L.) in the south of Primorsky Territory (the Russian Far East). It is established that, in the study area, the species is massively found along the roadsides and inhabits anthropogenic landscapes (gardens, abandoned fields, wastelands in cities and towns), and a single case of introduction into the forest biocenosis on the territory of the Ussuri Nature Reserve is noted. According to the degree of naturalization, the species can be attributed to epecophytes, the self-renewal and naturalization of which is possible only among anthropogenic vegetation in disturbed and artificial habitats. It is necessary to continue monitoring of its distribution in the region to prevent the introduction into natural biocenoses.
