A new population of the Pancarpathian endemic species Arabidopsis neglecta was discovered in the Svydovets Massif at Komyn in 2018. It is the fifth population known so far for the Svydovets. A short description of the subalpine-alpine scree habitat (Rumici scutati-Rhodioletum roseae) is given. Many of the co-occuring species are listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine (2009); however, A. neglecta is not included in the current edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine. Though, its micropopulations on steep slopes of glacial cirques are highly vulnerable due to climate change and some other factors.
