Abstract
A total of 289 herbarium sheets with 803 specimens from the genus Fritillaria within ZA, ZAHO, CNHM and ZAGR collections were digitized. Altogether 23 taxa were registered within studied collections. The exsiccata originate from 20, mostly European countries; however 72% are from Croatia. The revision of the herbarium sheets collected in Croatia resulted with five native taxa and their historical distributional data for the country. The average age of the collected specimens was 85 years. Based on our herbaria revision, the area of distribution of F. messanensis ssp. gracilis greatly increased.
