Old cemeteries link historical, architectural and natural values and are considered to be some of the most interesting elements of Polish rural landscape. In the Drawsko Landscape Park area, which is situated in the north-western part of Poland, there exist ca. neglected Evangelical cemeteries and they are very suitable habitats for vascular plants. We inventoried fi ve abandoned Evangelical cemeteries of the western part of the Drawsko Landscape Park, i.e. in Lipno, Toporzyk, Śmidzięcino, Cieminko and Uraz. The survey showed relatively poor fl ora with the total number of taxa of vascular plants derived from families. The richest in species were the following families: Rosaceae (), Liliaceae (), Ranunculaceae (), Asteraceae (), Carypohyllaceae (), Lamiaceae () and Poaceae (). The number of species occurring in individual families ranged from to and the number of species per cemetery ranged from in Lipno to in Cieminko, with an average of species per cemetery. The native fl ora is represented by % of total taxa with apophytes outnumbering spontaneophytes. The examined fl ora is dominated by hemic- ryptophytes (%) with signifi cant proportion of phanerophytes (%).
