“…The presence of C. pumilio in the investigated area is probably connected with the existence of many herds of sheep. This is also in accordance with the dispersal mode reported by Bergmeier (1988). Salsola kali L. -8b, 11.10.2001, Bal.…”

“…-First record from S Greece. This xenophyte of Australian origin was first reported for Greece from the Kato Olimbos area (Bergmeier 1988). A few more records have been added since the publication of "Flora Hellenica" (Strid & Tan 1997) in which it is mapped only for E Thessaly (Nomos Larisis).…”

“…Pilger () mentioned only the more hirsute inflorescence and extended the distribution area to Libya. Apart from Egypt and Libya (e.g., http://www.ville-ge.ch/musinfo/bd/cjb/africa/; http://www.emplantbase.org), it occurs on Malta (Greuter & Raus, ) and Crete (Bergmeier, ). More recently it has been established that this species is more widely distributed, in deserts of the Middle East (incl.…”

Plantago sect. Coronopus contains our two focal species (P. coronopus L., P. crassifolia Forssk.), both with an overall conspicuous bi-hemispheric distribution range (Mediterranean and Middle Eastern regions in the Northern Hemisphere and South Africa in the Southern Hemisphere). We have evaluated up to 27 morphological characters from 96 herbarium specimens representing five out of seven species of that section that are currently recognised using principal coordinate analysis, linear discriminant analyses, agglomerative clustering, and classification tree analyses, in order to test the current taxonomic concepts of our two focal species. Furthermore, we used 54 individuals representing six out of those seven species of P. sect. Coronopus to construct molecular phylogenetic hypotheses by sequencing nuclear ribosomal DNA from the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), the plastid trnL-F region, the plastid intergenic spacer region trnH-psbA and adopting maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses. In the Northern Hemisphere, an Irano-Arabian clade initially identified as P. coronopus and shown as distinct in both morphological and phylogenetical terms fits a wider circumscription of P. crypsoides Boiss. due to lack of the prominent short and thick inflorescence scape following Boissier's description. The morphological differences between P. crassifolia from the Mediterranean region and P. crassifolia from South Africa (often named P. carnosa Lam.) were marginal, yet the molecular phylogenetic analyses of both nuclear and plastid markers clearly separated these evolutionary entities. Therefore, we re-instated the name P. carnosa as the correct name for South African P. crassifolia. Plantago carnosa differs from P. crassifolia by the combination of having stronger woody rootstocks, which are more often branched, by broader leaves (≥1.6 mm wide) and the fact that specimens more often turn brown when dried. Our dataset provides the best sampled phylogenetic hypothesis for P. sect. (and subg.) Coronopus to date, and reveals discordance between nuclear and plastid genealogies within P. sect. Maritima, which requires further investigation.Supporting Information may be found online in the Supporting Information section at the end of the article.

“…Another very important (though less frequent) annotation refers to the status of the specimen as a nomenclatural type (i.e., the specimen that acts as a fixing point of a specific scientific name according to the Melbourne Code; McNeill & al., 2012. However, annotations may refer to any part of the original data, e.g., a correction or a specification of the locality (Bergmeier, 2011), comments on the life stage of the specimen, hints as to important morphological features and line drawings thereof, etc. (Berendsohn & Nimis, 2000).…”

Biological specimens in research collections provide the most important baseline information for systematic research. Traditionally, they are annotated by experts in written form, which remains directly associated with the specimens. These annotations, defined as data added at a later stage to the original data, provide an important quality control mechanism. They improve the value of herbarium specimens and are identification trails documenting the development of taxonomic concepts over time. With specimen data increasingly becoming accessible via the Internet, a general online annotation system that ensures that the traditional data sharing and documentation of specimen data is continued after the information is mobilised through digitisation, is currently missing. We lay out the prerequisites for such an annotation system including data standards, a data repository, system access, and user roles. We also introduce an exemplar solution developed in the DFG–funded AnnoSys project. AnnoSys is being implemented using the example of collection and observation data in the botanical domain as provided by the GBIF/BioCASe networks. It provides a user–friendly interface to allow researchers to produce and discover annotations. If a record has been annotated, both the annotation and the original record will be stored in a repository, linked via a persistent identifier, and will be accessible through the AnnoSys interfaces. Collection holders and scientists specifically interested in a subset of data will be informed about annotations in which they have expressed interest. We discuss AnnoSys in relation to the FilteredPush project, which pursues the same goal in facilitating and communicating online annotations, but which takes a different approach.
