ABC_Useful Plants of Malawi: Species used as Herbal aphrodisiacs

Dernière version Publié par National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi le May 31, 2022 National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi

Several Ethnobotanical studies by National Herbarium & Botanical Gardens of Malawi(NHBG)and other studies have emphasized the wide use of herbal aphrodisiacs as they have been documented to have an effect on the libido of males by arousing the sexual instinct, induce desire and increasing pleasure and sexual performance. This dataset consists of some species and their localities.NHBG is trying to document these species with regards to their distribution and consequently and assessment of their conservation status because some of these species are extensively being harvested and sold within and outside of Malawi. This dataset consists of some of the species mentioned in most of the enthnobotanical surveys NHBG carries out(unpublished reports) as being used in the treatment of male impotence. Please note that not all localities have been documented in this case because NHBG has just started the process of data digitization.

Données sur le projet

The African Biodiversity Challenge is a competition coordinated by the South African National Biodiversity Institute (SANBI) and funded by the JRS Biodiversity Foundation. The competition follows on from a previous JRS-funded project, “Mobilising Policy and Decision-making Relevant Biodiversity Data”

Titre Enhancing accessibility of biodiversity data in Malawi
Financement JRS Biodiversity Foundation
Description du domaine d'étude / de recherche The project is being implemented in Malawi, central Africa.
Description du design The main objective of this project is to Facilitate easy access to biodiversity data information held by the Museums in Malawi and the major deliverable will be that Malawian Biodiversity data will be made available on a national Data platform.Participating institutions are; • Museums of Malawi (MOM) • National Herbarium and Botanic Gardens (NHBG) • Wildlife and Environmental Society of Malawi (WESM) • National Commission for Science and Technology (NCST)

Méthodes d'échantillonnage

These samples were collected on routine field trips by different botanists

Etendue de l'étude This data is obtained from herbarium records which are being encoded in BRAHMS database. Since this is an ongoing projects; the records presented in this dataset is not exhaustive enough as it does not cover the entire geographical range of these species.

Description des étapes de la méthode:

  1. Please note that most of these samples are old and were not georeferenced. Georeferencing has been done by the author using a program called Geo-Locate(www.geo-locate.org)

Métadonnées additionnelles

The dataset consists of 1000 records

Objet In Malawi, there has been extensive harvesting of medicinal plants and those believed to enhance male sexual life are harvested widely and sold by traditional medicine practitioners throughout the country. The conservation status and distribution of most of these plant species haven't been extensively studied. NHBG has started the digitization process and consequently the under the African Biodiversity Challenge has been challenged to publish its data on GBIF after undergoing BID data Mobilization workshop at SANBI
Description de la fréquence de mise à jour The data will be updated periodically once new information on new localities of these species are digitized in BRAHMS
