Abstract
The analysis of sexual differentiation, the spread of sexual forms, and relations between sexual polymorphism and ecological-biological peculiarities in dicotyledonous plants of the Siberian flora was performed. Seven variants of sexual differentiation in Siberia are identified: gynomonoecy, gynodioecy, dioecy, monoecy, andromonoecy, trioecy, and androdioecy.
