All herbarium specimens of grasses from Madagascar and the surrounding islands: family Poaceae, sector AFM
Description
These data published are all Poaceae herbarium specimens collected in Madagascar and the surrounding Islands (Comoros, La Reunion, Mauritius, Seychelles, Glorioso Islands, Europa Island, Juan de Nova, Mayotte), held in Museum National d’Histoire Naturelle de Paris herbarium (MNHN). They are provided from specimens collected between 1769-2016. We take this opportunity from our BID grasses project (BID-AF2017-0103-SMA) which is funded by GBIF through the European Union, to compile data from the transcription of Muséum national d'Histoire naturelle, Paris (MNHN) specimen images. We have done the georeferencing of old specimens using webs georeferencing tools, the gazetteer of Missouri Botanical Garden (MBG) and KMCC and the georeferencing methodology of taxon observation occurrences in the standard elementary exchange data (Vest, 2016).
