The study of phytocenotic diversity in the light of modern scientific concepts of its preservation is now a new and to some extent holistic worldview of this global problem for humanity. According to the panphytocenocentric concept, its solution should be carried out at the local, regional, national and international levels. Protection of phytocenotic diversity in Ukraine has become an integral part of the concept of ecologically balanced development, national programs for biodiversity conservation as a mandatory element of state environmental policy. Therefore, it is important to preserve phytocoenotic diversity as a set of phytocoenotic taxa, which reflect all levels of organization of phytocoenosystems, which were formed in the process of phylocenogenesis in various eco-conditions and assessed by a set of geososological features. The purpose of the publication is a comprehensive level analysis of the current composition of the rare phytocenosis of Ukraine, establishing a new list of rare syntaxons, elaboration of the latest structure of the second official edition of the Green Book of Ukraine and outlining tasks for the future. The issues of the second official edition of the “Green Book of Ukraine” are considered. In this context, a critical analysis of the syntaxonomic composition of the currently functioning rare phytocenofund of Ukraine is carried out, methodological violations of their selection are revealed, the structure of the description of rare syntaxons is offered. The authors have identified 983 associations of 104 formations, which will be taken as the basis for the second official publication of the “Green Book of Ukraine”. An important element of the syntaxonomic protection of vegetation is also the creation of regional (oblast) lists of rare associations based on the principles of creating the “Green Book of Ukraine”. For the first time a modern rare phytocenofund for its main natural regions has been determined: Ukrainian Polissya, Ukrainian Carpathians, Podolsk part of the forest zone, Forest-steppe of Ukraine, Steppe of Ukraine, Mountain Crimea.
