Abstract

collection concerns mainly plants, within the family, with medicinal properties or used in traditional medicine, but it does not exclude other sympatric species.
This database was extracted from the four collections of reference specimens on medicinal plants deposited at the CNARP herbarium: http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medicinal_plants_orstom_cnarp&v=1.0, http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medecinal_plants_cnarp&v=1.0, http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medecinal_plants_nci_cnarp&v=1.0 and http://ipt.madbif.mg/resource?r=medecinal_plants_icbg_cnarp&v=1.1

Keywords: Occurrence; medicinal plant; biodiversity

Project details

Project title: Mobilization of reference specimens data on the Asteraceae family, owned by CNARP, for conservation, sustainable use and decision making in Madagascar
Personnel: Roland RAKOTONDRAJAONA, Stephan RAKOTONANDRASANA, Jaona RANAIVO, Herizo RANDRIAMBANONA
Funding: The digitization of this family has been possible thanks to an European Union funding through the BID program coordinated by GBIF.
Study area descriptions/descriptor: Invasive alien species and endangered species were the two firsts of the 8 priority areas defined by the ACM in its WP 2015-2016. In this regard, the consortium retained 8 families of each category for the project. The Asteraceae family was chosen by the consortium as one of the priority family of invasive species.

Methods

Method step description: Nomenclatural check,
Scientific authorship check (Standard use)
Typing check
Data mapping
Data publishing
Study extent description: The digitization program concerns all specimens of the targeted families owned by CNARP
Sampling description: All of the Asteraceae family specimens from the herbarium were digitized. These specimens were collected from the Malagasy territory. The collection includes mainly medicinal plants but are not exclusively so.
Quality control description: Before publishing, the nomenclature was checked and updated with Catalogue of life, Tropicos database and/or IPNI, we used the OpenRefine tool as well to clean the data
