“…The collections of the Malaspina Expedition include the specimens of Thaddäus Haenke, which are chiefly in Prague and have had a mostly European distribution and only a modest study by Presl (1830) , while the estimated 10,000 collections of Luis Née are presumably still in Madrid and have had almost no distribution or study. Sebastian Vidal’s 14,000 collections from the 1880s are in Madrid ( Calabrese and Velayos, 2009 ), and many are still being studied with important effect. A recent review of Vidal’s collections of Fabaceae found that these century-old specimens included five species not previously documented for the country ( de la Estrella et al, 2007 ).…”

Premise of the study:We tested the credibility and significance of digital field photographs as supplements or substitutes for conventional herbarium specimens with particular relevance to exploration of the tropics.Methods:We made 113 collections in triplicate at a species-rich mountain in the Philippines while we took 1238 digital photographs of the same plants. We then identified the plants from the photographs alone, categorized the confidence of the identification and the reason for failure to identify, and compared the results to identifications based on the dried specimens.Results:We identified 72.6% of the photographic sets with high confidence and 27.4% with low confidence or only to genus. In no case was a confident identification altered by subsequent examination of the dried specimen. The failure to identify photographic sets to species was due to the lack of a key feature in 67.8% of the cases and due to a poorly understood taxonomy in 32.2%.Discussion:We conclude that digital photographs cannot replace traditional herbarium specimens as the primary elements that document tropical plant diversity. However, photographs represent a new and important artifact that aids an expedient survey of tropical plant diversity while encouraging broad public participation.

“…Alberga en tres terrazas escalonadas, plantas de América incluidas las láminas que realizo José Celestino Mutis en la Expedición Botánica . Gracias a las expediciones en Filipinas, el Real Jardín Botánico de Madrid tiene una de las colecciones más importantes de plantas de este país (Calabrese & Velayos, 2009). Además de las grandes colecciones vivas y de láminas del mundo vegetal, en el jardín también se pueden observar muestras de esculturas de científicos destacados tanto a nivel de la península ibérica como de otras partes del mundo.…”

Los Jardines Botánicos, además de tener una importancia como medio de información y difusión sobre el mundo de las plantas, son considerados espacios de recreación pasiva, de protección, preservación y conservación de una gran variedad de especies, y de investigación en el campo vegetal. Considerando estos aspectos, el texto se orienta a exponer, de manera sucinta, los orígenes de estos espacios verdes, sus diversas funciones, así como describir los Jardines Botánicos más destacados en Colombia y el mundo. Se pretende resaltar la labor y las actividades que estos espacios realizan, con el fin de motivar su visita y fomentar una educación ambiental que favorezca cambios en el comportamiento y actitudes de los estudiantes de todos los niveles escolares.

“…He renumbered Vidal's specimens, apparently giving the same number to all sheets belonging to the same species, without taking in consideration the localities and dates of each collection. This procedure brought additional difficulties in the recognition of the material (Calabrese and Velayos 2007). However, the numbers included by Quisumbing have been used by different authors as if they were Vidal's numbers.…”

This study provides a checklist of the specimens kept in the Real Jardín Botánico herbarium (MA) belonging to the family Leguminosae and collected by Sebastián Vidal in Philippines, during the period 1876 to 1887. More than 750 specimens were studied. In the subfamily Caesalpinioideae we found 39 species (14 genera); Mimosoideae 24 species (10 genera) and Papilionoideae 85 species (40 genera). Twenty six species collected by Vidal should be considered introduced in the country. Although this collection is dated from the 19th century, five species are reported for the first time from the country: Albizia splendens, Bauhinia ferruginea, Caesalpinia andamanica, Sindora coriacea and Sindora wallichii. The whole Vidal collections (series 1, 2 and M) were studied and a map of localities with coordinates is provided. A statistical summary is presented at the end of the checklist.
