Abstract

Information about the Antoniy Margittai’s collection in the Herbarium of the Uzhhorod National University (UU) is presented, namely the history of its formation, number of specimens and taxa, data about geography, periods of the collection, the collectors, and its current state. The collection consists of 1545 specimens and represents 581 species from 216 genera and 53 families. All these materials were collected by A. Margittai in Transcarpathia (former Bereg, Ung, Ugocha and Maramoros comitats), the present-day Ukrainian territories, and a minor part from the present day Hungarian and Slovak areas. Some specimens collected by J. Buček, G. Lengyel and L. Vagner were included into the collection. The first specimens were collected in 1908, and the last ones in 1938. The Uzhhorod collection of A. Margittai is valuable in regional terms and has scientific, historical and cultural significance.
