Distribution of Ipomoea violacea (Convolvulaceae): patterns, gaps and reports for its occurrence in Brazil and West Tropical Africa - Supplementary Data

These are 4 supplementary data files for the paper "Distribution of Ipomoea violacea (Convolvulaceae): patterns, gaps, and reports for its occurrence in Brazil and West Tropical Africa" published in the journal Rodriguésia. The CSV files include geographical coordinates for the taxonomically verified specimens of Ipomoea violacea L. that form the foundation of the study.There are 4 separate files: African & Indian Ocean records [29 records]; Americas (North, Middle, South, Caribbean) records [146 records]; Asian & Pacific records [226 records]; and a combined file with all the records merged [401 records]. These geographical data form the basis for the global distribution reported for Ipomoea violacea and are the basis for our discussion of its biology and dispersal. Specimen records were compiled in BRAHMS software between 2002-2020 and have been exported as Excel tables in CSV format with selected fields only, including: scientific namecollector name(s)collector numberduplicates (acronyms follow Index Herbariorum)collection date countrymajor areaminor areagazetteerLatitude (NS)Longitude (EW) unitscoordinatesLatitude decimalLongitude decimal
