Scientific potential of the Orchidaceae Juss. collection in the herbarium of the State Natural History
Museum of the NAS of Ukraine
The scientific potential of the Orchidaceae Juss. family collection of the vascular plant herbarium
of the State Natural History Museum of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine (LWS) in Lviv
was determined by conducting a full inventory using the electronic database created in the museum
and the inventory card file. The collection of representatives of the Orchidaceae family in the LWS
herbarium as of the beginning of 2025 consists of 2558 sheets (2.1% of the vascular plant herbarium)
and includes 85 species and subspecies belonging to 31 genera. It is fully representative of the
Carpathian region of Ukraine and includes all 40 species from 22 genera of this family listed in the
«Plant Identification Guide of the Ukrainian Carpathians». The collection includes 55 (80.9%) of the
68 species included in the latest edition of the «Red Book of Ukraine». Over the past 10 years (2025-
2014), the collection has been replenished with 274 herbarium sheets, mainly due to the addition of
collectors from their past collections from the territories of Lviv (127 specimens), Zakarpattia (80
specimens) and Ivano-Frankivsk (29 specimens) regions. At the same time, a new species was added to
the collection - Gymnadenia densiflora (Wahlenb.) A.Dietr.
