Abstract

This dataset provides information about 1083 preserved specimens from 279 species and subspecies and 73 families of vascular plants. The specimens were collected in the PhD project of Akerreta (2009), that studied the ethnobotanical use of plants in Navarra (NE Iberian Peninsula, Spain), focused on the medicinal use of plants.

General description

Additional information: The origin of the PAMP Herbarium dates back to the arrival at the University of Navarra by Professor T.M. Losa España in 1964. One year later M.L. López Fernández began her doctoral thesis, maintaining her contributions to the herbarium uninterruptedly for several decades. Most of the material deposited in the herbarium comes from collections made by researchers from the Department of Environmental Biology (formerly Department of Botany) of the University of Navarra, as a result of theses and dissertations generally carried out in the territory of the Autonomous Community of Navarra (Spain). The herbarium store c. 100 000 sheets with dried specimens. The digitisation of the specimens has been done through the HERBAR v3.7.1 software (Pando et al., 1994-2010) and was supported by the Spanish Government (CGL2007-30978-E, CGL2009-08507-E and CGL2011-15056-E).

Natural collections description

Collection name: Herbario PAMP: colección AKERRETA
Specimen preservation method: Dried and pressed
Curatorial unit: 1083 with an uncertainty of 1 (sheets)

Methods

Method step description: 
- . 	Plant collection. Plant vouchers were mostly collected in collaboration with the informants. In some cases, plants were previously collected by the informants.
- . 	Identification to species or subspecies level. Identification was performed between 2003 and 2009 by S. Akerreta and R.Y. Cavero using Flora europaea (Tutin et al. 1964-1980), Flora iberica (Castroviejo et al. 1986-2015) and Flora del País Vasco y territorios limítrofes (Aizpuru et al. 1999).
- . 	Plant conservation. Specimens were dried and pressed for conservation using standard protocols. Vouchers were deposited in the herbarium of the University of Navarra.
- . 	Numbering and digitization of vouchers. From 2012 to date, each specimen was labelled, with a unique collection number, and digitized, using HERBAR software (v3.7.1 Pando et al. 1994-2010).
- . 	Nomenclature was updated using Flora iberica (Castroviejo 1986-2015).
- . 	Names of municipalities, localities and place names were updated according to Toponimia Oficial de Navarra (http://toponimianavarra.tracasa.es/).
- . 	Localities were georeferenced using x- and y- UTM coordinates. Uncertainty was also assigned.
- . 	Coordinates, characters and format of dates were checked for possible mistakes using Darwin test software (v3.3, Ortega-Maqueda & Pando 2008). This software also allowed the data to fulfil the Darwin Core Standard (Wieczorek et al. 2012).
- . 	Metadata were documented and the dataset was published in the GBIF data portal using the Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT v2.3.5) of GBIF.es (http://ipt.gbif.es/).
Study extent description: The specimens were collected in the province of Navarra (northern Spain), a region of 10 391 km2 located at the western end of the Pyrenees.
Sampling description: Samples were collected between the years 2003 and 2007 throughout the territory.
