Abstract

The paper presents a systematic review of the Poaceae Branh. family in the collection of the Herbarium of the North-Eastern Federal University (NEFU). The scientific fund of the herbarium contains 682 specimens from the Poaceae. The collections starting from 1953 are presented. The largest number of collections falls on 1955-1980. The main collectors are S. Z. Scriabin, A. A. Permyakova, Yu. V. Rykova, T. F. Galaktionova, V. I. Perfileva, V. M. Usanova. The collection of the NEFU herbarium includes 123 species from 36 genera of the Poaceae family, of which 8 species are rare and endemic: Koeleria sckrjabinii Karav. et Tzvel., Elytrigia villosa (Drob.)

Tzvel., Koeleria sckrjabinii Karav.ue Tzvelev, Melica nutans L. Inventory, systematization, digitization of material was carried out to create an electronic database - the digital herbarium of NEFU. Also, for the digital herbarium, morphological descriptions, information on the features of the ecology and distribution of species, a list of scientific works of researchers on the study of their biomorphology, ontogeny and the structure of coenopopulations in the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia) have been prepared. Author's photographs of plants in nature, photographs of taxonomically significant morphological characters of species have been prepared. The digital herbarium of NEFU will provide free and quick access to the collection of plants not only for students and university staff, but also for everyone who wants to get acquainted with the stored herbarium specimens. In the future, it is planned to fill in the database on all collections of the scientific herbarium.
