ABC_Useful Plants of Malawi: Species used as Herbal aphrodisiacs

最新版本 由 National Herbarium & Botanic Gardens of Malawi 發佈於 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 This dataset consists of some of the species mentioned in most of the enthnobotanical surveys NHBG carries out(unpublished reports) as being used in the treatment of male impotence.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.

Data Records

The data in this 出現紀錄 resource has been published as a Darwin Core Archive (DwC-A), which is a standardized format for sharing biodiversity data as a set of one or more data tables. The core data table contains 1,016 records.

This IPT archives the data and thus serves as the data repository. The data and resource metadata are available for download in the downloads section. The versions table lists other versions of the resource that have been made publicly available and allows tracking changes made to the resource over time.

計畫資料

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”

計畫名稱 Enhancing accessibility of biodiversity data in Malawi
經費來源 JRS Biodiversity Foundation
研究區域描述 The project is being implemented in Malawi, central Africa.
研究設計描述 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)

取樣方法

These samples were collected on routine field trips by different botanists

研究範圍 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.

方法步驟描述:

  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)

額外的元數據

The dataset consists of 1000 records

目的 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
維護說明 The data will be updated periodically once new information on new localities of these species are digitized in BRAHMS
