For the first time, the authors analyzed representation of the superorder Lilianae in the scientific herbarium of the largest university of the Republic of Kazakhstan, Al-Farabi Kazakh National University. Of the five orders, 13 families, 46 genera and 304 species of Lilianae known in Kazakhstan, the herbarium keeps specimens from 11 families, 30 genera and 146 species. Thus, 84.5 % of the families, 65.2 % of the genera and 47.7 % of the species of Lilianae are represented in the herbarium. Most of the specimens were collected in the first half of the XX century. Among the collectors there are famous florists, geobotanists, and natural resource scientists including Members of the Russian Academy of Sciences N.V. Pavlov and B.A. Bykov, and well known botanistsV.P. Goloskokov, L.F. Demidovskaya, L.A. Demchenko V.S. Kornilov, V.P. Mikhailova, N.T. Ageeva and many others. The absence in the herbarium of specimens representing more than ten genera and half of the species of Lilianae draws attention to the need to continue scientific work and to increase collecting effort through targeted field work.
