New finds of polemochore plants in the Pskov and Novgorod regions

We discuss the occurrences of Central European plant species in the areas of Pskov and Novgorod provinces, which coincide with the movements of German troops during the Second World War (polemochore plants). In particular, Carex brizoides, Primula elatior, Heracleum sphondylium and Pimpinella major are now found in many locations along the Loknya – Holm road, which was used for the transportation of supplies from Central Europe during the 1941–1944. The hybrids of Heracleum sphondylium and Heracleum sibiricum are described from the location where they grow together near the Loknya station. The sites of the finds of Sanicula europaea, which, in our opinion, increased its presence due to military drifts, are also described.
