The Władysław Szafer Institute of Botany (Instytut Botaniki im. Władysława Szafera, Polish) in Kraków, Poland is a major European herbarium containing a collection of over 650,000 vascular plants, bryophytes, algae, fungi, lichens, and various plant fossils.[1] The vascular plant specimens are primarily from Central Europe with a specialization in alpine plants.[1] The bryophytes are Polish, Antarctic and subAntarctic, and East African.[1] The fossil plants are largely Central European.[1] Main publications include Acta Palaeobotanica, and the Polish Botanical Journal.[1]

The herbarium was established in the 1950s by professor of botany and paleobotany, Władysław Szafer, at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków.[2]
