Join us in 2020 to celebrate the 135 th anniversary of the P.N. Krylov Herbarium and the 170 th birthday of Porfiriy Nikitich Krylov, an outstanding scientist, botanist, professor, corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and founder of the Herbarium in Tomsk Imperial University.
The Herbarium, created in Tomsk Imperial University in 1885, became in the short time a full-fledged scientific botanical institution, allowing large-scale scientific projects to be carried out on the basis of accumulated collections and a rich library of botanical literature. The Herbarium is the basis for fundamental research into the flora of Siberia and adjacent territories and into plant taxonomy. The famous Flora of Altai and Tomsk Province (1900–1914), Flora of Western Siberia (1927–1964), the well-known Flora of Krasnoyarsk Territory (1937–1983), and Flora of Transbaikalia (1966–1972) and Flora of Siberia (1987–2003) were created on the basis of collections of P.N. Krylov Herbarium. Herbarium collections were also fully used for the preparation of the fundamental Flora of Siberia (1987–2003). Scientific Botanical School established by P.N. Krylov on the basis of the Herbarium and the Department of Botany at Tomsk University covers the main fields of botanical research.
We cordially invite you to participate in the conference dedicated to these remarkable events.
