Abstract
The history of the creation and development of the orchid collection of the Stock greenhouse of the Tsitsin Main Botanical Garden of the Russian Academy of Sciences is shown. The first orchids were obtained from the botanical gardens and flower firms of Germany in 1948; the number of natural species was 140. A complete list of preserved German orchid species, including 65 species from the 29 genera, is given. Further stages forming of the collection of orchids are described. Now the collection of tropical orchids of the Stock greenhouse includes 1328 species, subspecies, and varieties of orchids, belonging to 250 genera, and 69 species that are included in various categories of IUCN. The main areas of research with living collection plants are listed. These include the inventory and maintenance of an electronic database, the study of orchid adaptation to cultivation in greenhouses (morphology, phenology, symbiotrophism), reproductive biology issues (embryology, artificial pollination, seed morphometry), cryopreservation, and in vitro cultivation.
