Abstract
This paper describes the herbarium (COFC) dataset of vascular plants of the University of Cordoba (SW Spain). This dataset is made up of two collections, the General collection (61,377 specimens) and the Historical collection (1,614 specimens). This study has focused mainly on the General collection, which contains the largest number of vascular plant specimens, predominantly angiosperms, mainly provincial and regional (Andalusia, Spain), but also with a good representation of other areas of the Iberian Peninsula and neighboring countries. The place of collection is specified in 99.7% of the labels, about 35% being georeferenced, and it is estimated that, currently, about 86% of the material housed in the herbarium has been databased using Elysia v1.0. software. With more than 178 families, 1,178 genera, and 3,750 species, this collection not only has educational importance, but is a valuable research tool that has been useful for the development of important works such as "Flora Vascular de Andalucía Occidental" and the "Flora iberica". The dataset described in this paper is registered with GBIF (accessible at https://doi.org/10.15468/fdzzal).
Highlights
Most of the specimens were collected during the years 1792−1834, mainly in the province of Cordoba, including some from plants cultivated in gardens, but occasionally in other provinces (e.g., Seville, Jaen, Cadiz, and Madrid), by the following botanists from Cordoba: Jesús Muñoz Capilla, Rafael Mariano León y Gálvez (1772−1811), Rafael Entrena y Camacho (1786−1835), and the Cádiz-born Antonio Nicolás Cabrera y Corro (1762−1827)
The herbarium was restored and carefully inventoried by Jordano and Ocaña (1955, 1957), and in the 1970s, after the creation of the University of Cordoba, it was ceded to the facilities of the COFC herbarium
The General collection has a total of 61,377 specimens that have been recorded with different herbarium number, and there are more than 12,000 duplicate specimens of the gatherings
