Collection of African plant samples from the Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Unit (Université Libre de Bruxelles, Belgium) for genetic analyses since 2005.

This database records the collection of leaf or cambium samples of African plants (mostly Guineo-Congolian forest trees) conserved at the Evolutionary Biology and Ecology Unit of the Université Libre de Bruxelles (team lead by Olivier Hardy) for DNA analyses. The material is used for genetic analyses in the fields of phylogenetics, population genetics and phylogeography. Each sample has a unique identifier in the form of 2-3 letters (most often the initials of a collector) followed by a 4 digit number. A sampe corresponds to one individual plant collected in the field, or sometimes taken from an herbarium voucher conserved in a herbarium collection, which has been identified to species or genus level and geolocated.
