“The Proper Names of Some Siberian Plants”: The Exhibit of the Botanical Museum of Siberia
DOI: 10.31518/2618-9100-2021-2-9
The article is devoted to the temporary exhibit “Proper names of some Siberian plants” marking the 75th anniversary of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CSBG SB RAS, Novosibirsk). The names of 19 botanists from CSBG were memorized in 43 plants represented by angiosperms (1 genus, 37 species and 2 subspecies), lichens and algae (1 genus and 2 species each). The article contains information about the taxa and the personalities whose names were offered for the plants’ proper names. Their biography and contribution to botanical science are described in brief, as well as the historical facts that motivated their colleagues to give the proper names to the new taxa (species, genera and hybrids). It is worth mentioning that such naming was invigorated by the increased rates of investigations of Siberian vegetation and its floristic composition, and by subsequent generalization of these data into the large floristic works printed in the 20th century with personal contribution of the botanists of the Central Siberian Botanical Garden, SB RAS.
