Lectotypes of twelve names of Fungi published by Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg from Adelbert von Chamisso’s collection (Auricularia cornea, Agaricus copulatus, Boletus katui, B. sector, Hypochnus nigrocinctus, Hysterium gracile, H. orbiculare, Naemaspora tularostoma, Sphaeria eschscholtzii, S. fur, S. profuga, Triblidium arcticum) are designated. It was thought that fungal collection made by Chamisso during the voyage around the world on board the Russian brig «Rurik» (1815–1818) had been lost, but many of his samples of fungi were re-discovered in 2013 in the Mycological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (St. Petersburg, LE) including original material of ten Ehrenberg’s taxa. For Hypochnus rubrocinctus which was lectotypified earlier by Aptroot et al. (2009) the additional type material kept in the Lichenological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) is cited. It is supposed that original collections of Campsotrichum unicolor and Thamnomyces chamissonis may be kept in Fries herbarium (UPS).

Information on the Sphagnum mosses of the South Ossetia is generalized, the resulted list is presented. Nine species of Sphagnum are included in the list, whereabouts data and references to the publications are given, and the presence of a sample in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute RAS (LE) is noted. The species Sphagnum platyphyllum (Lindb. ex Braithw.) Warnst. rarely occurring in the Caucasus is reported in the South Ossetia for the first time. The species was found in the Caucasus, South Ossetia, at the side of the Ertso Lake (42°28ʹN, 43°45ʹE), 1720 m a. s. l., among sedge thickets at the margin of the overgrowing lake. The peculiarities of its occurrence and ecological conditions are considered. Its distribution in the Caucasus and in the world is discussed.

The article addresses the issue of lectotype designation of Melilotus tauricus (Fabaceae) and the authorship of this binomial. The species was described by F. Marschall von Bieberstein in 1819 as Trifolium, but no type was cited. The lectotype of Melilotus tauricus has not yet been designated. It is chosen here from among the original material stored in the Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute, RAS (LE). It is also revealed that the priority of the combination belongs to C. Ledebour (1823) – M. tauricus (M. Bieb.) Ledeb. – instead of N. Seringe (1825) as it was previously believed.

Existed since the late 60-ies of the last century, Laboratory of vegetation of the arid zone V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1993 was transformed into a Laboratory of vegetation of the steppe zone of geopolitical change led to the fact that the arid lands presents now in our country is mainly steppes. Since then 10 years have passed, it is already possible to draw some conclusions. As a result of human activities, the steppe, like most grassy biomes arid regions of the world, almost completely destroyed, and the remaining vegetation is degraded. In this regard, one of the goals of this Laboratory is to determine (primarily in the European part of the country, subjected to the most heavy anthropogenic load), where fragments of steppes and what is their condition.

From 20 to 24 September 2011 in St. Petersburg Komarov Botanical Institute and Russian Botanical Society was held all-Russian scientific conference with international participation «Native geobotany: milestones and prospects». In 2009-2010 the Botanical Institute celebrated 100-year anniversaries of V. D. Alexandrova, B. A. Tikhomirov, A. A. Yunatov, the 110th anniversary of A. A. Korchagina, E. M. Lavrenko, the 120th anniversary of B. N. Gorodkova and the 130th anniversary of V. N. Sukachyov — the founders of the leading areas of geobotanical research at the Institute and in the country as a whole. Conference «Native geobotany: milestones and prospects» was dedicated to the memory of those of the greatest scientists that shaped the Department of geobotany of the Institute is one of the leading geobotanical centers of the world level. Geobotanical and phytogeographical studies were an important focus at the Institute throughout its history.

Thorough investigation of old collections is an important service to taxonomy and history of science. In this process, many old collections that may have been forgotten can be made available again for science. Recently, online databases like Tropicos (www.tropicos.org), the World checklist of selected plant families (http://apps.kew.org/wcsp/home.do) and The plant list (www.theplantlist.org) have facilitated this work (Steudel et al. 2012). It has not yet been recognized that many old collections are rich in type material. These specimens are of particular value since some collections have been destroyed (e.g. Herbarium Berolinense in World War II), and it is important to compile lists of type material from the 18th and 19th century from as many herbaria as possible. An example is the discovery of type material of Bipinnula polysyka Kraenzl. (Kränzlin 1887; Orchidaceae) in Zurich (Z & ZT) by Steudel et al. (2012). This material has been designated as lectotype of the species as it represents the only known original material (Sanguinetti et al. 2015). Additionally, a complete revision of a group can clarify nomenclatural confusion (Steudel 2012).

Based on the study of the original material and the protologues of 4 Dermatocarpon species described by Tomin, kept in the Herbarium of V. F. Kuprevich Institute of Experimental Botany of the NAS of Belarus (MSK) and the Herbarium of V. L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the RAS (LE), 2 lectotypes (D. ferganense, D. terrigenum), are designated, 5 isolectotypes are indicated. The herbaria have been revealed where 4 lectotypes, 6 isolectotyps, 10 syntypes are kept. The correct nomenclature quotes for two species, D. elisavetae and D. terrigenum, are given. The ranges of the species are characterized according to published data. Neocatapyrenium rhizinosum is reported for the first time for Turkmenistan.

The paper summarizes information on chromosome numbers (CNs) of the Grass species (Poaceae) in the flora of Russian Federation, obtained on the original material, most part - from the Russian Far East (RFE). In some species the CNs are known in Russia or in the world only from RFE, in some – from one locality or few, or from one subregion of RFE. The grass species in RFE often occur in mountain regions and near seacoasts; some species are endemics, some were studied near the limits of their geographical distribution areas. The diversity of CNs, the special features of the CNs distribution in some grass groups are discussed. The alien species are abundant in RFE, and their CNs are also involved in the study. For karyologically polymorphous species further studies are needed.

Leonid Efimovich Rodin (1907-1990) was a graduate of Leningrad state University. To him, the future is known geobotanica, happened to a course in Botanical geography is still at the N. A. Bush. His teachers were also A. P. Shennikov and A. A. Korchagin, who subsequently headed related Department of geobotany and Botanical geography of Leningrad state University. This was the first school scientist. And since the beginning of the 30s of XX century and until the end of life L. E. was an employee of the Department of geobotany of the Komarov Botanical Institute (RAS), where long time worked together with E. M. Lavrenko, V. B. Sochava, B. A. Tikhomirov, V. D. Alexandrova and many other high-level professionals, first continuing to learn and gain experience, then defining the direction of development of geobotany in the Institute and the country as a whole.
