The "Fetești" landscape reserve (Edineț district) stands out for its diversity of habitats, which also determined the floristic richness. Taking into account the intensity of anthropic pressure (clear cuttings to promote natural regeneration, excessive grazing, etc.) and the negative influence of natural factors in recent decades (especially drought), a study was required to specify the composition of rare plant species in this territory. The data presented in this work are the result of the study of rare plant species, which have national, regional and international protection status. The study was carried out by the itinerary method. Specialized literature was used to determine the systematic affiliation of the identified species and the protection status of rare species. As a result of the conducted research, the presence of 42 rare plant species was found, belonging to 36 genera from 19 families. The data analysis showed that the most species-rich families were Liliaceae with 16% of the total number of rare species and Ranunculaceae with 13%. The Red Book of the Republic of Moldova (ed. III) includes 15 species of rare plants, attributed to different categories of rarity: critically endangered (CR) - Herniaria glabra L., Melittis sarmatica Klokov; endangered (EN) - Cotoneaster melanocarpus Fisch. ex Blytt, Crambe tаtаricа Sеbеok, Dictamnus gymnostylis Stev., Lunaria rediviva L.; vulnerable (VU) - Dryopteris filix-mas (L.) Schott, Epipactis purpurаtа Smith, Fritillaria montana Hoppe, Galanthus nivalis L., Hepatica nobilis Mill., Poa versicolor Bess., Polypodium vulgare L., Schivereckia podolica (Bess.) Andrz. ex DC, Trifolium pannonicum Jacq. The category of rare species (R) includes 27 species, most of which are under state protection, being included in the LRM. Some fairly common species in natural habitats (Corydalis cava, Convollaria majalis, Primula veris, etc.) are included in the list because their populations are in continuous decline under the influence of anthropogenic factors. Some of the researched species are part of the LRR, for example: Epipactis heleborine, as well as LRU, for example: Staphilea pinnata, Tulipa bibersteiniana etc. One species - Lilium martagon - is included in the Red List of Europe (LRE). The analysis of the data from the specialized literature allows us to establish that for the species Dictamnus gymnostylis (gymnostylus ash), the landscape reserve "Fetești" serves as a new habitat on the territory of the Republic of Moldova.
