This paper presents the preliminary results of introduction of fi ve therapeutically important plants (Leonotis nepetifolia, Leonurus sibiricus, Basella alba, Basella rubra, Lycium chinense) in the Botanical Garden (Istitute) of ASM. The studied taxa were obtained from seeds received by international exchange. The study was preceded by an extensive literature survey of studied plants according to their therapeutic importance and utilization in popular and modern medicine. Investigations included propagation aspects and research into cultivation techniques in order to observe their reproductive behavior in our conditions and accumulate experience on their agro-technical peculiarities. Seasonal rhythm of development of these taxa was studied.
