Abstract
The research was carried out as part of the ongoing study of the taxonomy of Boraginaceae in Asian Russia and beyond, as well as in connection with the preparation of the next issue of the “Catalogue of type specimens of vascular plants of Siberia and the Russian Far East”. The article contains information on 138 type specimens of the names of 33 taxa from the Boraginaceae, mainly stored in the collection of the sector of Siberia and the Russian Far East of the Herbarium of the V.L. Komarov Botanical Institute RAS (LE, St. Petersburg, Russia), as well as in the collection of A.P. de Candolle in the Herbarium of the Conservatory and Botanical Garden of Geneva (Conservatoire et Jardin botaniques de la ville de Genève - G-DC, Geneva, Switzerland), Herbarium of C.L. Willdenow in the collection of the Botanical Garden and Botanical Museum Berlin-Dahlem (Botanischer Garten und Botanisches Museum Berlin-Dahlem, Zentraleinrichtung der Freien Universität Berlin - B, BW, Berlin, Germany), as well as in the Herbaria P, BM, K, M, MEL, HAL, H, TK, BR, C, S (scanned images of herbarium specimens are hosted on the Global Plants on JSTOR aggregator). For each type specimen, its category, original label quotation, protologue data, accepted correct name, and necessary notes are provided. A total of 27 lectotypes, 49 isolectotypes, 24 syntypes, 4 holotypes, 2 epitypes, 4 isoepitypes, 4 neotypes, and 24 original specimens are listed. The lectotypes of 21 names of species, the epitypes of 2 names of species, and the neotype of 1 name of species are designated. The categories of the types of 5 previously typified names are clarified. The surveyed type collections contain specimens of the species described by P.S. Pallas, J.G.C. Lehmann, K.F. Ledebour, A. Chamisso, N.S. Turczaninow, A.P. de Candolle (father) and Alph. de Candolle (son), K.I. Maximowicz, V.L. Komarov, M.G. Popov and other researchers of the Siberian and Far Eastern flora. The earliest collections belong to Pallas and I. Sievers.
