Citation

Meise Botanic Garden, Dillen M (2018). Vernacular names of the Flore d'Afrique Centrale. Version 1.7. Meise Botanic Garden. Checklist dataset https://doi.org/10.15468/hwrwlp accessed via GBIF.org on 2023-01-28.

Description

Vernacular names published in the Flore d'Afrique Centrale linked to their respective scientific names.

Sampling Description

Quality Control

Errors produced by the digitization have been corrected, with the intention that the digitized data are identical to the original paper version. The only things that have been changed are obvious spelling mistakes in the original and the authorities of scientific names have been standardized against Brummitt and Powell’s Authors of Plant Names (1992).

Method steps

  1. Optical Character Recognition of the paper volumes. Semi-automated XML markup of the text. Manual checking of the markup and important fields such as the Latin names.

Taxonomic Coverages

  1. Tracheophyta
    common name: Vascular plants rank: unranked

Geographic Coverages

Central Africa: Democratic Republic of the Congo, Rwanda, Burundi.
