TREASURES OF MECHNYKOV ONU HERBARIUM (MSUD). EXSICCATES FROM “FLORA ROSSICA”

Abstract

Introduction. Exsiccates are the series of herbarium samples of plants and mush rooms, which were carefully identifid, with typographical labels, used in the end of XIX – in the beginning of XX cent., and now having big scientifi and historical importance. The aim of the work was to investigate exsiccates stored in Herbarium ONU (MSUD). Results. 4 parts of exsiccates, which were collected in the end of the XIX century in the northern parts of that time Russia, stored now in Herbarium of Odessa Mech nykov National University (MSUD) were analyzed. All exicates are presented on 195 herbarium sheets, have numbers but unsystematically. They are represented by 192 species from 159 genera, 63 families, 4 classes and 3 phylf (by Takhtajan system). All plants are well preserved. There is the Latin and Russian name of the plant on each label, its synonyms and presence in monographies by P. Pallas, K. Ledebure, E. Boisse, I. Shmalhausen, the place and time of collecting, the name of collector. Basing on systematical analysis leader families were chosen Poaceae, Cyperaceae, Asteraceae, Brassicaceae, Caryophyllaceae, Fabaceae, Lamiaceae, Hyacinthaceae, Orchidaceae, Ranunculaceae, and the largest genus: Carex (11 sp.), Saxifraga (4 sp.), Astragalus, Trifolium, Gentiana, Dentaria (3 sp.). Plants were mainly collected in 1897. Of 53 collectors most plants were collected by K. Kupffer, N. Tzinger, G.Vestberg. There are specimens collected by Novorussian university graduating students: I. Akinfiv and V. Chmelevsky and also other famous investigators: I. Boro din, D. Litvinov, S. Korzinskyi, K. Golde, F.Buhse, F. Teplouchov, F. Alexeenko, N. Desulavi, A. Petunnikov. The greatest quantity of plants were gathered in Liflndia, Pskov district, Poland, Caucasus and in Ukraine – in Kyiv district in forests and on the slopes and beaches of reservoirs. One of 4 species indicated then as weeds, Ornithogalum fibriatum Willd., now is in Ukrainian Red Book, as well as 5 spe cies from Orchidaceae: Cypripedium calceolus L., Epipactis palustris (L.) Crantz., Liparis loiselii Rich., Microstylis monophyllos Lindl., Platanthera bifolia Rich. Conclusion. Exsiccates, that were analyzed, are interesting for description of the region flras, may be valuable for understanding the changes of some plant species status in historical development and also for obtaining additional information about scientists, who were collectors of exsiccates
