Abstract

The article deals with Herbarium of the Amur Branch of the BGI FEB RAS (ABGI), its formation and development prospects. Information about structure and volume of the Herbarium’s collection funds is provided, which are formed the basis of collections of vascular plants, bryophytes and macromycetes from the Amur region. The Herbarium contains 30 970 specimens, of which 26 670 are vascular plants, 2600 are fungi and 1700 are bryophytes. The uniqueness of the collection fund consists in existence of samples of rare and endemic species of plants and fungi. The work of the Herbarium group is aimed not only at storing and replenishing collection funds, but also their digitalization in the database of the Electronic Herbarium of the BGI FEB RAS, as well as their applying in environmental, educational and scientific educational activities of the institution.
