The Herbarium of M.M. Gryshko National Botanical Garden (KWHA) was founded in 1948. Currently, the KWHA Herbarium contains over 155 700 specimens representing 12 486 taxa. The herbarium houses 16 catalogued type specimens. Here, we designate a lectotype for one name (Jurinea helenae Sobko). The type specimens deposited at the KWHA Herbarium represent 11 families, 14 genera and 14 species, comprising 1 holotype, 1 lectotype, 2 syntypes, 9 isotypes, 2 isolectotypes, and 1 paratype. These type specimens were collected in seven countries (Armenia, France, Georgia, Russian Federation, Turkey, Turkmenistan, and Ukraine).
