Abstract

In this paper, the plant lists of the woody and herbaceous members of Paeoniaceae and Hypericaceae families, grown in Zagreb Botanical Garden of the Faculty of Science since 1892 until 2020, are studied. Synonymy, nomenclature and origin of plant material were sorted. Lists of species grown in the last 128 years have been constructed to show that during that period at least 50 taxa of woody and herbaceous wild and cultivated peonies (Paeonia spp.) and 44 St. John’s worts (Hypericum spp.) inhabited the Garden’s collections. Today we have 46 Paeonia species, cultivars and hybrids, and 14 Hypericum species, cultivars and hybrids.
