FLORA OF KURILSKY NATURE RESERVE
Okhotsk flora is the foundation of the nature reserve's plant diversity. The number of Manchuria and North Japan plant species is significant too.

In the nature reserve there are 493 fungi species, 304 algae species, 433 bryophyta species, 331 lichen species and 988 vascular plant species. In the Red Data Books of Russia and Sakhalin Region there are 14 fungi species, 6 algae species, 14 bryophyta species, 23 lichen species and 100 vascular plant species.

Forests
More than 60% of the nature reserve's area is covered with forests. 62% of forests are dark coniferous (Abies sachalinensis, Picea jezoensis, Picea glehnii, Taxus cuspidata), near 20% of forests are deciduous (Betula ermanii, Kalopanax septemlobus, Alnus hirsuta, Salix caprea, Acer mayrii and others), the other part of forests is 700 meters above the sea level and is formed by dwarf siberian pine (Pinus pumila).

Deciduous lianas are widespread in all types of forests (Actinidia kolomikta, Schizophragma hydrangeoides, Vitis coignetiae, Toxicodendron orientale and others).

Sasa kurilensis is an integral part of the nature reserve's landscape. Its height can reach 1,5−2 meters in open spaces and lighter parts of forests and form difficult to pass tangled vegetation. In narrow river valleys, on the banks of rivers and lakes, on slopes of marine terraces there are grasslands formed by Polygonum sachalinense, Filipendula camtschatica, Senecio cannabifolius, Petasites japonicus.
