PAMP-tracheo: Vascular plants with pharmaceutical use in Navarra (Spain). PhD project, S. Akerreta

Description

This dataset provides information about 1083 preserved specimens from 279 species and subspecies and 73 families of vascular plants. The specimens were collected in the PhD project of Akerreta (2009), that studied the ethnobotanical use of plants in Navarra (NE Iberian Peninsula, Spain), focused on the medicinal use of plants.

Geographic Description

Navarra province (N Spain) was selected to perform this PhD project. Navarra (Comunidad Foral de Navarra) is a region located in the North of Spain, at the western end of the Pyrenees, covering about 10 391 km2. It is bordered to the north by France, to the west by the Basque Autonomous Community, to the southwest by La Rioja and to the east and southeast by Aragón.

Country: Spain. Province: Navarra (N Spain).

Methods

Plant collection. Plant vouchers were mostly collected in collaboration with the informants. In some cases, plants were previously collected by the informants.Identification to species or subspecies level. Identification was performed between 2003 and 2009 by S. Akerreta and R.Y. Cavero using Flora europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980), Flora iberica (Castroviejo et al. 1986-2015) and Flora del País Vasco y territorios limítrofes (Aizpuru et al. 1999).Plant conservation. Specimens were dried and pressed for conservation using standard protocols. Vouchers were deposited in the herbarium of the University of Navarra.Numbering and digitization of vouchers. From 2012 to date, each specimen was labelled, with a unique collection number, and digitized, using HERBAR software (v3.7.1 Pando et al. 1994-2010).Nomenclature was updated using Flora iberica (Castroviejo 1986-2015).Names of municipalities, localities and place names were updated according to Toponimia Oficial de Navarra http://toponimianavarra.tracasa.es/).Localities were georeferenced using x- and y- UTM coordinates. Uncertainty was also assigned.Coordinates, characters and format of dates were checked for possible mistakes using Darwin test software (v3.3, Ortega-Maqueda & Pando 2008). This software also allowed the data to fulfil the Darwin Core Standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012).Metadata were documented and the dataset was published in the GBIF data portal using the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT v2.3.5) of GBIF.es http://ipt.gbif.es/).
