Drimiopsis of Africa

Drimiopsis is a genus within the family Asparagaceae and originates from tropical and South Africa. Kew’s Herbarium houses over 180 specimens of this genus from Africa. Digitisation plays a key role in enhancing overall access to the Herbarium collections by databasing and imaging the specimens and disseminating these digital collections via the internet. Digital collections not only result in an archived digital backup of the physical collections, but also contributes to the global access of plant diversity. You can help to provide this access to collections by transcribing the label data from the African Drimiopsis specimens housed in the Herbarium at Kew. The total number of tasks for this dataset is: 153, number transcribed is 153 and number validated is 30. This data resource is harvested periodically into the main occurrence index.
