We present a comprehensive sampling of all herbarium specimens of the Erigeron acris group available from Murmansk Region and kept at H, INEP, KAND, KPABG, LE, LECB, MW, OULU, PTZ, TROM and the Herbarium of the Apatity Branch of the Murmansk Arctic University (unregistered, provisional acronym ARCT). Documented observations of iNaturalist are also included. The specimens (258) and observations (3) are georeferenced and databased in order to form a taxonomic dataset, which includes 261 herbarium specimens and documented observations altogether. The herbarium specimens are examined taxonomically either de visu (H, OULU), or as high-quality scanned images (ARCT, INEP, KAND, KPABG, LE, MW), or as low-quality scanned images (TROM), or as photographs (LECB, PTZ).Sampling Description

Geographic Coverages
The territory of Murmansk Region totals 144,900 sq. km and is largely situated in the Kola Peninsula, bordering to Norway, Finland, and the Karelian Republic of Russia. The territory is bounded by the Barents Sea in the north and the White Sea in the south and east. It is fully situated within the Fennoscandian Shield, which is composed mostly of gneisses, granites and quartzites with nearly no limestone; bedrocks often being exposed along the sea shore. The territory is largely flat except for two small mountain massifs in the central part (Khibiny, Lovozero) and a few minor uplands in the western and south-western parts (Chuna-Tundra, Kandalaksha, etc.). Rivers and lakes are abundant, the Ponoy River and Lake Imandra being the most significant examples. Islands are many along the shoreline
