Abstract On the basis of herbarium specimens and documented observations, the taxonomic confusion around Allium filidens s.l. (including A. filidentiforme) in Kyrgyzstan is resolved. The species status of A. filidentiforme is confirmed, and this species is classified in A. subsect. Crystallina, comb. nov. In Central Asia, the A. filidens group (A. subsect. Filidentia) includes species with whitish perianth colours (A. filidens s.str., A. karakense, A. ugami) and greenish perianth colours (A. mogianense, A.

Abstract A brief account of the biography of Richard Maack (1825–1886) is provided, with an emphasis on his botanical travels and research presented in the context of contemporary politics and sciences. The history of three Siberian expeditions of the Imperial Russian Geographical Society is detailed: to the Viluy River in 1853–1855, to the Amur River in 1855–1856 and to the Ussuri River in 1859–1860. Scientific and curatorial treatments of botanical collections of these expeditions are reviewed.
