The article provides information on the distribution of 38 species of vascular plants in the Kemerovo region that were not reflected in the second edition of the regional Red book. These data were obtained in the processing of herbarium collections compiled in 1969 – 2012 by teaching staff and students of the Kemerovo State University. As a result, 96 unknown localities of protected plants were revealed. More than 2/3 of herbarium specimens clarify the distribution of species in the administrative regions listed in the regional Red book, and the rest were collected outside. Only a small portion of the finds were confirmed by later compilations, data on the remaining locations do not exist, population monitoring in these localities was nit conducted. In this regard, to use the received information in a subsequent edition of the Kemerovo region Red book, it is necessary to conduct additional exploration of the territories, clarifying the fact of preservation of the populations and assessment of their condition.
