Herbarium of vascular plants of the State Museum of Natural History of the NAS of Ukraine (SMNH-NASU-LWS)

The herbarium LWS was established in 1832. Our collection has ca. 120K dried and pressed herbarium specimens of vascular plants and is mainly focused on the western part of Ukraine. However, there are also numerous materials collected from other regions of Ukraine and other countries. The collection was formed during different historic periods, and therefore, besides Ukrainian, contains many Polish, Romanian, Slovakian, and Hungarian vouchers.
