  • This dataset is contains herbarium specimens collected in the Dzanga-Sangha Reserve in the Central African Republic. These data are collected and used by David Harris at the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh, scientific collaboration are welcomed, please get in touch with a point of contact.

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • This dataset gathers the floristic composition in a network of about 100 transects across terra firme forests in Gabon, considering stems above or equal to 5 cm diameter at breast height. In each transect, the following data are collected : 1. Diameter at breast height (dbh), 2. Species identification. Herbarium samples are conserved at the Herbarium of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (BRLU, Belgium) and the database is frequently updated by ULB's botanists. 3. GPS geolocation. These data are collected and used by Evolutionnary Biology and Ecology unit from the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB) and Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG), Central Africa Program.

  • This dataset gathers description for available herbarium specimens on Orchidaceae endemic to Atlantic Central Africa. It contains about 2054 georeferenced records. These data are collected/compiled by V. Droissart, B. Sonké, and T. Stévart, and used by the RAINBIO project.

  • This dataset gathers the digitized data of herbarium collections present in the Herbarium of the Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium. The majority of the samples originates from Africa. Most of the collection consists of dried plants mounted on herbarium sheets, but it also comprises special collections preserved in alcohol and a collection of dried samples in silica-gel. The best represented countries in the collection are Congo (RDC), Equatorial Guinea, Central African Republic, Congo Brazzaville, São Tomé and Príncipe, Cameroon and Gabon. Each entry has data on: 1. Taxonomic identity 2. Geographic location 3. Collector and collecting information

  • The dataset holds georeferenced records in african countries from the Royal Botanic Gardens herbarium database in Kew (K). We downloaded the dataset on 9 December 2014 from the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF). Each entry has data on: 1. Taxonomic identity 2. Geographic location 3.
