Subset of Naturalis Herbarium Collections database (WAG) for Africa

This database contains botanical records either relating to material present in one of the Naturalis collections, or to material that has been or is being used in research projects. The records usually relate to herbarium specimens, but it also contains data on silica-gel samples, wood samples, spirit collections, carpological collections, etc. rarely to observations only.
