Key words: Allium; Iris, Eremurus; bibliography; Vvedensky; taxonomy; Middle Asia Aleksei Ivanovich Vvedensky was born on March 7, 1898, in the city of Penza (Russia) in the family of a teacher. He discovered his interest in botany early in school. The famous Penzini botanists Profs. I.I. Sprygin and M.G. Popov played an eminent role in the career of their young and energetic student. Under their guidance, Aleksei acquired his first skills in herbarization, biodocumentation, and identification of vascular plants (Butkov et al. 1968). The professional development of A.I. Vvedensky took place against the backdrop of the violent revolutionary events of 1917–1920, the fall of the Russian Empire as a result of revolutions, the First World War and the Civil War. In 1917, Vvedensky, still very young, became a member of the Penza Society for Natural Sciences, whose chairman was I.I. Sprygin. The following year, his first publication appeared: ‘News and the rarity of the Penza flora’ (1918). In January 1919, Vvedensky was appointed head of the http://doi.org/10.54981/PCDA/vol1_iss2/a1 Received: 30 June 2022; Accepted: 5 August 2022 Academic editor: Sergei Volis Plant Diversity of Central Asia 2 (2022) 1–25 Herbarium of the Penza Provincial Natural Historical Museum. A year later, he began working at the Penza Zoological and Botanical Garden, which was united with the Museum, while still heading the herbarium and holding the full-time position of taxonomist. In 1920, by order of the government, a large group of Russian scientists was sent to Tashkent with the mission of creating a higher educational institution in Turkestan. Together with I.I. Sprygin, M.G. Popov, E.P. Korovin, and four other employees of the Penza Museum, Vvedensky arrived to Tashkent and, among the large group of botanists and soil scientists, became actively involved in organizing the botanical department. The Penza botanists who moved to Tashkent were called the ‘Group of Sprygin’. The Department of Botany they created became part of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the Turkestan People's University (since 1924 the Central Asian State University; since 1960 Tashkent State University; and Khassanov et al. currently the National University of Uzbekistan). Since the 1920s, many leading botanists of that time began to work there, including R.I. Abolin, A.A. Baranov, A.V. Blagoveschensky, V.P. Drobov, M.G. Popov, E.P. Korovin, M.V. Kultiasov, N.D. Leonov, I.A. Raikova, M.M. Sovetkina and others (Tojibaev et al. 2020). Over time, it was this department that would later serve as a scientific centre for the development of plant science in Central Asia. The Tashkent group of young and talented botanists introduced the scientific world to hundreds of new plant species, as well as to the unique features of the vegetation of Central Asia. In Tashkent, throughout the 1920s, Vvedensky combined organizational work with scientific research at the university, which may explain his relatively late graduation. Vvedensky completed his higher education in 1929 with the thesis entitled ‘Central Asian Gagea reticulata s.l. alliance and its path of evolution’ (handwritten manuscript, 1929). At that time, Vvedensky worked as a researcher at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, head of the herbarium of the Botanical Garden, expert in the Botanical Garden, and head of the herbarium of the Central Asian University (Lipschitz 1947). The special contribution of A.I. Vvedensky was the creation of the University Herbarium in 1920, originally called Herbarium Horti Botanici Universitatis Asiae Mediae (subsequently Herbarium Universitatis Taschkenticae, acronym TAK) which he himself headed since 1925. From 1923 to 1934, twenty issues of ‘Shedae ad Herbarium Florae Asiae Mediae’ were published (Vasilchenko, Vassilieva, 1975). The herbarium was created from the collections of the Bureau of Soil and Botanical Research, established in 1909. Much later, in early 1988, the University Herbarium was merged with the Herbarium of the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of the Uzbek SSR (Pratov and Adylov 1996). The TASH Herbarium (Institute of Botany, Tashkent) (Pratov and Adylov 1996), which already existed at that time, was originally based on the collections of the plant resources Plant Diversity of Central Asia. 2 (2022) 1–25 Vvedensky Aleksei Ivanovich sector of the Committee of Sciences created in 1936. At first, in the united herbarium, the university and academic collections existed in parallel, with their own particular nomenclature, and were located in different premises. The collections were merged and reorganized by T.A. Adylov, who was the curator of the Herbarium from 1972 to 1988, in a process of painstaking work. Later, A.I. Vvedensky brought the number of sheets in this collection to around half a million. Under his leadership, there was established a practice of an exchange of duplicates of herbarium specimens with the then Soviet and foreign herbaria, such as W (Vienna), P (Paris), K and BM (London). At that time, this required not only a huge organizational effort, but also the firm authority of Vvedensky. In working with the herbarium collection, Vvedensky was exceptionally meticulous and pedantic. According to the memoirs of T.A. Adylov, when they brought freshly collected plants, Vvedensky immediately sent the collectors to dry the plant material before proceeding with the identification procedure. At the same time, he did not trust anyone with a significant part of the herbarization work, and preferred to perform it himself, or only with reliable employees (V.K. Pazij, S.S. Kovalevskaya, N.B. Nikiforova, and others). Vvedensky also actively participated in field research and collected huge numbers of herbarium specimens. The samples collected by him personally constituted a significant part of the material he used in the preparation of his major scientific publications. So, when working on the publication ‘Herbarium Florae Asiae Mediae’ (1924–1928), Vvedensky utilized over 25,000 herbarium sheets, a significant portion of which were collected in field expeditions led by Vvedensky. In 1935, A.I. Vvedensky was awarded the Candidate of Biological Sciences degree without the need of a dissertation defense (based on the totality of his published works) and was awarded the title of associate professor. In 1943, he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of 2 Khassanov et al. Sciences of Uzbekistan. Vvedensky established the Systematics of Vascular Plants Laboratory at the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of Uzbekistan, which he headed from 1950 to 1958. Despite problems with his health that arose with aging, he continued to lead and participate in many field expeditions to various regions throughout Central Asia (Fig. 1.). Although his mobility decreased with age and the expeditions became fewer, he nevertheless was collecting large numbers of samples during field work. Botanists dealing with the scientific heritage of A.I. Vvedensky note the broad spectrum of his floral interests. He was a known expert for all plant groups, from ferns to composites. In 1923, A.I. Vvedensky published the ‘Identification of the Plants of Tashkent: an illustrated guide to the identification of wild vascular spore and flowering plants’ (Popov 1923), which focused on the plant diversity of the mountainous surroundings Tashkent city (Tashkentskiy Ala-Too). In fact, this publication served as a textbook for teaching lab classes on the taxonomy of flowering plants at the university, which took place at that time in the vicinity of the village of Kaplanbek (near Tashkent, now belonging to Kazakhstan). Due to the additional coverage of areas with high plant diversity, such as the vicinities of Humsan (Ugam Range), Chimgan (Chatkal Range), and Burch Mullah (Koksuv Range), it became an often used handbook for many Central Asian botanists. The textbook focused on seven families (Araceae, Lemnaceae, Juncaceae, Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Iridaceae and Orchidaceae), 20 genera and 86 species. In the following year, Vvedensky (1924) critically reviewed 150 species for the Herbarium Florae Asiae Mediae. For the Flora of Turkmenistan (vol. 1, 1932), Vvedensky contributed the families Liliaceae (except Tulipa, Eremurus, Asparagus), Amaryllidaceae and Araceae, totaling 15 genera and 74 species. Vvedensky also contributed to the multi-volume Flora of the USSR (30 volumes, 1934–1964), for which the team of authors was selected with great care. He revised the genera Bromus Plant Diversity of Central Asia. 2 (2022) 1–25 Vvedensky Aleksei Ivanovich (Vvedensky et al. 1934), Tulipa, Allium, Ungernia, Iris, and Juno (Vvedensky 1935); the Rutaceae and the genera Biebersteinia and Erodium (Vvedensky 1949), Pedicularis (Vvedensky 1955), contributing to the Flora of the USSR in total morphological descriptions of 518 species. To the six-volume edition of the Flora of Uzbekistan (1941–1963), he contributed the Eriocaulonaceae, Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, Iridaceae (Schreder 1941), Caryophyllaceae (Vvedensky 1953), Brassicaceae and Rosa (Vvedensky 1955). Rutaceae, Lythraceae and Onagraceae (Vvedensky 1959), Convolvulaceae, Lamiaceae, Scrophulariaceae, Valerianaceae and Campanulaceae (Vvedensky 1961), and the dichotomous identification key for Asteraceae (Vvedensky 1962). A total of 714 species were referenced by Vvedensky in the Flora of Uzbekistan. The Flora of Uzbekistan included information on 4148 vascular plants of Uzbekistan and in 1962 was awarded the prestigious state scientific prize named after Abu Rayhan Beruni (Sennikov 2016). For the ten-volume Flora of Tajikistan (Ovchinnikov 1963), Vvedensky contributed the Araceae, Liliaceae, Amaryllidaceae, and Iridaceae (28 genera, 236 species). For the first two volumes of the ‘Conspectus Florae Asiae Mediae,’ he contributed the Potamogetonaceae, Zosteraceae, Najadaceae, and Pteridophyta (Vvedensky 1968) and Liliaceae (Vvedensky 1971). Vvedensky devoted much attention to the ornamental bulbous plants of Central Asia. Using the living collection of the Tashkent Botanical Garden (TBG), he monographically revised the genera Tulipa, Eremurus, Fritillaria and Iris. He made a thorough revision of the genus Allium L., a favorite genus that he worked on throughout his life. The taxonomic revisions by Vvedenskyi were adopted by leading specialists from abroad. His revision of the genus Allium L. was appreciated and accepted by R.V. Kamelin (1973) and Per Wendelbo (1971). In his work with Allium, Vvedensky mainly used fresh plant materials of the TBG, maintaining close collaboration with the local staff. One result of this close 3 Khassanov et al. collaboration was the establishment in the TBG of a section with bulbous geophytes, mainly from the genera Tulipa and Allium. At one point, this collection consisted of about 6,000 wild species and horticultural varieties (Tulipa, Eremurus, Iris, Juno, Crocus, Colchicum, Fritillaria, etc.), of which more than 2000 were wild and garden tulips. In the collection of the TBG, preference was given to wild Central Asian tulips (70% of the area was occupied by wild species and about 30% by various varieties of cultivated tulips, mainly Dutch (Tojibaev 2011). An article dedicated to Vvedensky's 70th birthday (Butkov et al. 1968) noted the high level of his knowledge of the flora of Central Asia, as well as his great professional erudition and excellent knowledge of botanical nomenclature and geography. According to oral communication by O.V. Cherneva, A.I. Vvedensky dreamed of compiling a map of ancient soils (variegate outcrops) of the Central Asian region, and ‘populating’ the outcrops of such soils in Central Asia with ancient plant communities. This task was largely due to Vvedensky’s specific scientific approach of involving specialists from all related fields (geographers, geologists, soil scientists, zoologists). In 1968, the first volume of a 10-volume monograph on the flora of Central Asia appeared (Vvedensky 1968–1993), which was essentially a critical regional flora overview summarizing almost 100 years of research, as well as revisions of the floras of neighbouring to Central Asia regions Iran and Afghanistan. In fact, this multi-volume work served as the basis for the new Flora of Uzbekistan (Sennikov et al. 2016). In addition to the abovementioned multi-volume publications, A.I. Vvedensky was the editor of the following botanical reports: 18 issues of ‘Botanical materials of Herbarium of the Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences of the UzSSR’ (1941–1948); vols. III– XI ‘Flora of Kyrgyzstan’ (1951–1965), ‘Key of the wild plant species of the Hungary steppe’ (1960). Plant Diversity of Central Asia. 2 (2022) 1–25 Vvedensky Aleksei Ivanovich The following monographs were published under the editorship of Vvedensky: Lapin A.M. ‘Key of the plants of the Tashkent oasis, Part 1’ (1938); Korovin E.P. ‘Illustrated monograph of the genus Ferula’ (1947); Bondarenko O.N. ‘Key of the highest plants of the Karakalpakia’ (1964); Puchkova E.G. ‘Species of the Chaetodon section and its position in the genus Astragalus’ (1967) and many others. As a university professor, A.I. Vvedensky supervised undergraduate and graduate students in the areas of floristics, plant taxonomy, and phytogeography with his impressive encyclopedic knowledge. Among his students are: A.Ya. Butkov – one of the leading phytocenologists of Uzbekistan; Z.P. Botschantzeva – a leading scientist on tulips in Central Asia and adjacent territories; S.S. Kovalevskaja – a famous expert on many leading taxonomic groups of the flora of Central Asia, including Asteraceae; V.K. Pazij – an eminent university lecturer who described more then 40 new species from the families Fabaceae, Poaceae, Euphorbiaceae, and Lamiaceae; O.V. Cherneva – an expert in Cousinia Cass. and Jurinea Cass. In working with his students, Vvedensky had a unique pedagogical style of teaching the students how to conduct scientific research and write the papers. His approach was fascinating and highly motivating. However, Vvedensky became notably disappointed when some of his students, having undergone an extensive training, moved from Tashkent to other scientific institutions of the former Soviet Union republics. In total, A.I. Vvedensky's botanical contribution to the flora of Central Asia comprises the description of 9 new genera, 20 new sections, about 300 new species, more than 50 new combinations, amounting to more than 1,500 original descriptions of wild plants (Fig. 3.) (Table 1, 2) (Butkov et al. 1968). His invaluable contribution to science was the creation of the TASH Herbarium. Vvedensky educated a large number of talented plant taxonomists. He was the editor of a number of 4 Khassanov et al. Vvedensky Aleksei Ivanovich famous botanical publications and was one of the first to recognize the uniqueness and diversity of the Central Asian flora and its connections with other floristic regions of the world. Without a doubt, Aleksei Ivanovich Vvedensky deserves enormous gratitude and respect from botanists around the world. A.I. Vvedensky was married and had a daughter. In interpersonal communication A.I. seems to have been a humorous man who loved telling funny stories (Fig. 4.). Many photos have been preserved from happy gatherings with employees (Fig. 2). Other colleagues enviously joked that the Vvedensky group always had the most beautiful women. Fig. 1. A.I. Vvedensky Plant Diversity of Central Asia. 2 (2022) 1–25 5 Khassanov et al.

Abdullayeva (from left to right) On July 27, 1972, at age 74, Aleksei Ivanovich Vvedensky died in Tashkent and was buried at the Botkin cemetery. It is difficult to overestimate the contributions of Aleksei Ivanovich Vvedensky to the development of plant systematics and the herbaria of Central Asia.
