Nineteen species of Chrysosplenium are cited in the Russian Far East and 8 of them occur in Primorsky Territory. The highest taxonomic variety and phytocoenotic abundance of Chrysosplenium is observed in the Khasansky and Nadezhdinsky Districts of Primorsky Territory. All species of Chrysosplenium growing in Primorsky Territory were found in the National Park «The Land of the Leopard» during floristic investigations in 2014-2015. Analyzing own field data and Chrysosplenium samples from the herbaria Institute of Biology and Soil Sciences (VLA) and Botanical Garden-Institute (VBGI) of FEB RAS we found it necesary to clarify the number and composition of Chrysosplenium species in the National Park territory and the whole region. The «problematic» species with indefinite taxonomic status and/or imprecise distribution in Russia were indicated. They are Chrysosplenium sibiricum (Ser. ex DC.) A.P. Khokhr., C. sinicum Maxim., C. villosum Franch. Information on problematic points concerning these species is given briefly. The first finding of Chrysosplenium lectus-cochleae Kitag. in Russia with characteristic of its morphology and phytocoenotic preferences is described in detail. The citations of herbarium specimens are included.
