Abstract

The Herbarium ZAGR of the Faculty of Agriculture, University of Zagreb is one of the youngest in Croatia. The international acronym ZAGR was assigned by Index Herbariorum in 2013 when it was founded. Recently, in addition to the wild vascular flora, a collection of cultivated plants has been added to the herbarium material stored in the Herbarium ZAGR. Analysis has shown that 1737 herbarium specimens belong to the collection of cultivated and wild useful plants. There are 499 species and subspecies of useful plants, which are classified in 315 genera and 104 families. In total, the Herbarium ZAGR holds 18 useful species with cultivars. According to their employment, most taxa (326) can be used as medicine, 254 taxa can be used as food (166) or food additives (88), while bee plants include 172 taxa. The collection of cultivated and wild plants is available at http://herbarium.agr.hr/.
