Results of taxonomic, arealogic and ecobiological analyses of the flora of 18 salted lakes of the Kulunda plain situated in the south of West Siberia are presented. It is shown that the degree of mineralization of water influences directly the composition and structure of the flora. All the species of the flora studied, depending on the salt tolerance degree belong to weakly salted - fresh water type, saltish-water or salted-water ecological complex.
