Abstract
Herbarizing and documenting specimens of extra value is the primary mission of the Herbarium maintained at the National Center for Plant Genetic Resources. Herbarium materials representing the nomenclatural types of cultivated plants and their wild relatives, nomenclatural standards of domestic cultivars, traditional crop landraces, and species of crop wild relatives endemic to Russia are the most valuable scientific objects requiring permanent safe conservation and replenishment.
Such goal cannot be achieved without solving the major task: unification of the rules that regulate the collecting of plant specimens and arrangement of herbarium lists for nomenclatural standards. With this in view, we summarized methodological approaches to herbarization for scientific collections from published sources and evaluated some long-proven herbarization practices for specimens representing the diversity of both wild and cultivated plants.
