Current State of Collections of Genus Asparagus in Bulgarian National’s Herbaria

Base on the national herbariums deposited in the country and some authors' collections, a review of the status of Asparagus species has been made. Information on ecology, height range and representation of Bulgarian species in herbarium collections is updated. The information is organized in a relational database, which is an important information resource and a starting point for future taxonomic and chorological studies. This study reveals the state of the art and summarizes the gaps and problems.
