Abstract
Evgenii V. Wulff is an outstanding floristic phytogeographer, a classic in geography of cultivated plants. The scientific heritage of E.V. Wulff deserves a wider use, especially when solving such a very topical scientific problem for Russia due to the enrichment of the species composition in regional agrofloras. The paper deals with the Leningrad period of the scientist’s research activity, which lasted from February 1, 1926 until his death during WW2 in the besieged Leningrad (December 21, 1941). These were the years E.V. Wulff spent in Leningrad, which marked the period of his highest creative
activity, when he was inseparably linked with Nikolai I. Vavilov, who invited him in 1925 to the All-Union Institute of Applied Botany and New Crops (now the N.I. Vavilov All-Russian Institute of Plant Genetic Resources).
