Abstract

Andrić’s herbarium was established between 1823 and 1824. It was completed in 1837 and is kept today at two locations. The biggest part of the herbarium is placed in the Natural History Museum in Split, while the class folder of Diandria is kept in the Trogir City Museum. Unfortunately, it is not known when the parts of herbarium were stored in these two institutions nor on which occasion the transfer took place.
Today there are 620 herbarium sheets in the two museums, out of which 518 taxa were listed in the register from 1914, while 115 taxa are missing. In addition to the 905 taxa that Andrić collected or registered (according to the list from 1914), there are 24 newly discovered taxa that are found and labelled in the herbaria of the Trogir City Museum and Natural History Museum in Split. Thus, according to the work done on the material so far, the total number of taxa collected or registered by Andrija Andrić for the Trogir flora is 929.
In 2005, Andrić’s herbarium at the Natural History Museum in Split was updated, which included replacement and preservation of herbarium sheets and insertion of original labels in the herbarium.
