Antonina Ivanovna Pojarkova (1897–1980) was a Russian expert on the flora of the Caucasus, with a particular interest in ferns and seed plants. Pojarkova authored 230 land plant species names, the eighth-highest number of such names authored by any female scientist.[1]
Pojarkova was a principal editor with B. N. Gorodkov and author of many components of the 5-volume series Flora of the Murmansk region (Flora Murmanskoj oblasti) which was published by the USSR Academy of Sciences,[2] and with Vladimir Leontyevich Komarov of the 30-volume series Flora SSSR, which was translated into English as Flora of the USSR.[3]
As well as discovering new species, her work is notable for creating infrageneric groups, such as AcersectionTrilobata and CrataegusseriesOrientales.
Her specimen collection has been published for scientific study.[4]
