Catalogue of type specimens of vascular plants deposited in the Herbarium of the University of Granada (Spain)

This dataset contains the specimen records from the catalogue of the nomenclature types of vascular plants in the Herbarium of the University of Granada, Spain. These herbarium specimens are included in the GDA and GDAC collections, acronyms registered in the Index Herbariorum (Thiers 2014). A catalogue of vascular plants types from the Herbarium of the University of Granada has not previously been compiled. As a result of developing a doctoral thesis on the nomenclatural types included in their collections (Vizoso Paz 2019), and a project to get digital images to preserve and publish them, a large number of previously unrecognized types were identified. At this time, the type collection of vascular plants in the Herbarium of the University of Granada contains 565 type materials from 449 nominal taxa. In addition, this dataset contains other 6 types of 2 nominal taxa. Three of them are invalid because original material was found and the rest because it were not validly published (bachelor thesis). These types have been included by their possible interest to know their location in this collection and access to their images.
Most of the types provide from Morocco and Spain (eastern Andalusia). Almost half of them come from the following exsiccatae: Iter Maroccanum (1927-1930) of Font Quer, Plantes D?Espagne of Sennen, Flora Iberica Selecta, Flora Selecta Canariensis of Sventenius, and Pteridophyta Iberica. The rest of this catalogue has been generated through researches conducted by Botany Department of the University of Granada, mostly from eastern Andalusia.
For each specimen, the locality indication, species name, observation date, collector, type status, related information, associated sequences, and other catalogue numbers related to each type are recorded. The dataset is associated with an image collection (587 images) available at Institutional repository of the University of Granada (DIGIBUG, https://digibug.ugr.es/handle/10481/60047) and at the Herbarium of University of Granada institutional web site (http://herbarium.ugr.es/pages/imagenes/tipos-nomenclaturales/tvascular).
