	Pokucie in the botanical studies of the Cracow Scientific Society and the Academy of Arts and Sciences

	Realising the programme of researching Galicia, the Botanical Section of the Physiographic Commission of the Cracow Scientific Society (later the Academy of Arts and Sciences) carried out work in, inter alia, Pokucie. Pokucie was considred to be a geographical and historical area by the upper Prut River and the Cheremosh River. It is seperated from the located to the north Podole by the Dniester River valley, its south border is marked by the Chornohora Mountain Range.

	Field research carried out in Pokucie was the work of both field co-operators of the Physiographic Commission and the employees of the Botanical Section. Especially worth mentioning is the field work of J. A. Śleńdziński, E. Wołoszczak, H. Zapałowicz and A. Wróblewski. The model co-operation between field co-operators of the Physiographic Commission and the Cracow scientists connected with it should be especially emphasised. In result many new research positions and descriptions of new species were provided.

	It is worth mentioning that until the research of the Botanical Section, Podole had been weakly explored from the point of view of flora. The research into this area was continued during the interwar period. There is no doubt that the contribution of the Botanical Section of the Physiographic Commission into the research and establishing the knowledge of flora in Pokucie was enormous.
