Prior to 1988, these collections were housed at the Tashkent State University (TAK), the Tashkent Pedagogic Institute, the Nature Museum of Uzbekistan (RNMUT), the former Samarkand State University, and the Institutes of Botany (TASH), of Microbiology (TASM), and of Chemistry of Plant Materials, belonging to the Academy of Sciences of the Republic Uzbekistan. In 1988 these herbaria were combined as the Central Herbarium of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic Uzbekistan and housed at the Botanical Institute. The acronym T ASH is to be used for the Central Herbarium. **Date modified in Index Herbariorum**: 2020-12-22 > [!cite] This page is automatically generated • Data on this page were obtained from [Index Herbariorum](https://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/ih/) on 2023-08-23. • Meaning of acronyms in TL-2 is not always the same as in IH.
