This article is dedicated to the structure and semantics of plant names in Bulgarian dialects of the region of Odesa. This subject has not been explored specially in the Slavonic linguistics. The aim of the research is to elicit a structural and semantic specificity of the phyto names in the Bulgarian phrases of the region of Odesa. In that context it is required to accomplish some tasks as follows: 1. Determining the main structural varieties of the flora names in the Bulgarian dialects of that region. 2. Analyzing the semantics of the plant names in the dialects of that region and revealing motivational stems from which these phytonyms are derived. 3. Pointing to sources of the plant names in the dialects of the Bulgarian emigrants in Odesa region. The analysis of the language material reveals that the Bulgarian plant names in the contemporary colonial phrases of Bulgarians in Odesa region reflect the peculiarities of the dialects of the emigrants in the 18-19 cent. Structurally the hugest part of the botanical vocabulary of Bulgarians in Ukraine are simple (one-word) flora names. Of these, there are Slavonic phytonyms and foreign loans (Turkish, Greek, Latin). There are few of composite (two-stem) and complex (two-word) phytonyms in the vocabulary of the Bulgarians in Odesa region. All the researched vernacular names have been adhering to principles of the nomination inherent to the flora names in the Bulgarian language.
