The article presents the results of the revision of rare species of vascular plants of the Jewish Autonomous Region (JAR) included in the regional Red Data Book. A short history of the issue related to the identification of species of plants in need of protection in the JAR is presented. Based on our recommendations, 12 species have been excluded from the Red Data Book of the JAR (2006), the number of which has recovered, anthropogenic impact on the population has decreased, species with category 0 (possibly extinct), not marked in this area for more than a hundred years, changed the systematic position and require additional definition. For ten types, the categories of guard status have been changed. The list of species that need special protection is supplemented by four types: Liparis makinoana Schlechter; Euryale ferox Salisb.; Potentilla ancistrifolia Bunge s. str.; Gentiana macrophylla Pall. The modern list of vascular plants of the Red Book of the JAR, indicating their rarity categories, approved in 2017 by the JAR government, includes 132 species (9.15% of the entire flora of the region), of which 28 species are found in the Red Data Book of the Russian Federation.
