Flora Polonica, aimed to document the flora of Poland, is a collection of over 100,000 herbarium specimens of vascular plants collected in the territory of the Second Polish Republic, currently Poland, Lithuania, Belarus, Ukraine. About 1/3 of the specimens come from the 19th century (beginning in the 1820s), the rest from the 20th and 21st centuries. The collection includes small thematic collections and materials related to master's and doctoral theses.

The largest number of specimens was provided by Polish botanists: in the 19th century Kazimierz Łapczyński, Ferdynand Karo, Karol Drymmer and Felix Berdau, and in the 20th century Roman Kobendza, Wacław Gajewski, Kazimierz Nowak and Halina Galera. This collection includes species of Polish flora (native, grown in the ground and introduced), but there are also exotic species grown in greenhouses, such as Edward Strasburger's collection from 1863 from the Botanical Garden of the University of Warsaw.
