Abstract

The problem of presence of parallels between traditional astronomic and floral codes is discussed in the article on the basis of Belarusian material. Some new points to be investigated in the future were identified in traditional folk-riddles. Four contingent groups of phytonyms nomination with astral motivation were proposed by the author.
