Collection of African plant samples from the Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Unit (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium) for genetic analyses since 2005.
This database records the collection of leaf or cambium samples of African plants (mostly Guineo-Congolian forest trees) conserved at the Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Unit of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (team lead by Olivier Hardy) for DNA analyses. The material is used for genetic analyses in the fields of phylogenetics, population genetics and phylogeography. Each sample has a unique identifier in the form of 2-3 letters (most often the initials of a collector) followed by a 4 digit number. A sampe corresponds to one individual plant collected in the field, or sometimes taken from an herbarium voucher conserved in a herbarium collection, which has been identified to species or genus level and geolocated.

- Statement
- 1. Most samples collected in the field since 2005, some samples collected from herbarium vouchers (recent and old ones). Most sample collected in the field have no corresponding herbarium vouchers, limiting the possibilities to verify species identification. However, species identification might be confirmed for samples that were genotyped (but this is not recorded in the database). 2. We extracted for the RAINBIO database 14 510 records in November 2014.
