	The botanic studies carried out in the Tatra Mountains, especially on the northern slopes situated on the Polish side of this mountain range, inspired by the Cracow Scientific Society, and later by the Polish Academy of Arts and Sciences, impress with their size and thematic range. This issue should become a subject matter of an extensive monograph, even if it would be for the contribution of both Cracow institutions into the work of scientific exploration of the highest range of the Carpathian Mountains.
	The present article provides a historical outline of these issues but does not exhaust the topic. The content of the article is arranged according to the subject matter and chronology.
	The biggest contribution was made by the Physiographic Committee and its Botanic Section. The scientists carried out field research, often in very hard conditions, and compiled the collection. They concentrated on the issues connected with, inter alia, floristics, bryology, lichenology and mycology, through several years phytophenological observations were carried out. Thanks to the scientists and private donors, the botanic collection of the Cracow Scientific Society was considerably enriched and later passed by the Society to the museum collection of the Academy.
