Abstract
This paper provides an information about the rare for Siberia Ruppia maritima L. and Ruppia cirrhosa (Petagna) Grande communities. Ruppia maritima cenoses have been observed in small, shallow lakes with salinity 28,8-53,3 g/dm3, Ruppia cirrhosa communities have been found only in Shunet Lake (salinity 11,8 g/dm3). Ruppia communities have been attributed to the relevant associations of Braun-Blanquet approach – Ruppietum maritimae Iversen 1934 and Cladophoro-Ruppietum cirrhosae Verchoeven 1980.
