Abstract

This collection concerns mainly plants, within the Fabaceae family sensus lato, 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, Specimen

Project details

Project title: Mobilization of reference specimens data on the Fabaceae family, owned by CNARP, for conservation, sustainable use and decision making in Madagascar
Personnel: Roland RAKOTONDRAJAONA, Stephan RAKOTONANDRASANA, Jaona RANAIVO, Herizo RANDRIAMBANONA, Marrino RAKOTOARISOA, Andriamalala RAKOTONDRAFARA, Thierry Georget RAZAFINDRABEAZA
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 Fabaceae family was chosen by the consortium as one of the priority family for both invasive and threatened species.
