ABSTRACT: The article provides an overview of information on the two invasive species of Siberia that are weeds of crops - Malva verticillata L. and Vicia hirsuta (L.) S.F. Gray. It provides information on the distribution of species, morphology, biological and ecological characteristics. Active ability of Vicia hirsuta to spread with the seed of oil plants and honey plants was revealed. The possible consequences of the introduction in natural plant communities are shown. The possibility of the practical use of these species as fodder, food and medicinal plants is considered.
