Cremastosperma (Annonaceae) specimen data

Study Extent

We documented as many herbarium specimens of Cremastosperma as possible, from across the entire geographic distribution (Neotropics: from southern Costa Rica in the north to Bolivia in the south).

Sampling

During multiple field trips since 1971 (PJMM); 1994 (LWC); and 2001 (MDP)] to localities in Brazil, Colombia, Costa Rica, Ecuador, French Guiana, Boliva, Panama and Peru, we have observed species of Cremastosperma, making herbarium vouchers, taking photos, preserving flowers and fruit in alcohol and, in the last 20 years, drying leaf samples in silica gel for DNA extraction. We studied specimens representing 1037 individual collections from herbaria A, AAU, AMAZ, B, C, CAY, COL, CUZ, ECON, F, G, GB, GH, HAO, HBG, HOXA, HUA, HUT, INB, K, L, LE, LPB, M, MICH, MO, MOL, NY, OXF, P, QAME, QCA, QCNE, RB, S, U, UC, US, USM, USZ, VEN, WIS, WU and Z.

Quality Control

We determined each specimen to species, or in doubtful cases to "sp."

Method steps

1. We curated the collections data using BRAHMS version 7.9.9 (http://herbaria.plants.ox.ac.uk/bol/).
