Herbarium occurrences of Diospyros crassiflora Hiern in West and Central Africa

Supplementary Material S4 from Deblauwe V (2020) Life history, uses, trade and management of Diospyros crassiflora Hiern, the ebony tree of the Central African forests: A state of knowledge. Forest Ecology and Management.

This table lists all the dried specimens of Diospyros crassiflora Hiern we found in the following herbaria: BR, BRLU, LBV, MA, MO, FHI, K, L, P, U, WAG and YA (acronyms following the Index Herbariorum, Thiers, continuously updated) and in the Global Plants database (http://plants.jstor.org). In total, 212 dried collections were found, some of which are duplicates in two or more herbaria.

For each collection, the table shows the barcode(s), herbaria where samples are kept, species name, collector name, collector number, collection day, collection month, collection year, country, locality, habitat, additional description and geographic coordinates in decimal degrees. When not specified on the herbarium label, the geographical coordinates of the locality found on the herbarium samples were searched for on 1/200,000 IGN maps for Cameroon and www.openstreetmap.org for other countries. Apart from this, all fields in the table are provided as found on the label. Blank cells represent missing data.

The species identification of each collection was verified using Letouzey and White (1970) taxonomic key. Collections that we found to be erroneously identified as D. crassiflora were not included here and the herbarium informed.

Data are provided as a comma delimited UTF-8 CSV file.
