Description

The BRYOTAN collection is part of a bigger collection held by TAN Herbarium at the Flora Department of the Botanical and Zoological Garden of Tsimbazaza (PBZT). This Herbarium, as the national reference of flora specimens conserved plant specimens issued from diverse national and/or international projects since 1897. The digitization of this big collection was initiated during SEP-CEPDEC 1. Digitizing the Bryophytes collection was not part of this project. We seized the opportunity of the BID-AF2017-0174-NAC project kindly funded by the European Union through the BID-GBIF program to arrange, to identify, to digitize and to publish our Bryophyta collection data on GBIF portal , to making them universally and freely available . Indeed, Bryophyta were proven to be good indicators of ecosystem health but in Madagascar this plant group is so poorly known.
