Specimens



At this time, the Acalypha specimen’s database we provide here includes over 40,000 records, although not all show their complete data. These specimens are housed in more than 100 herbaria around the world. Where possible, we also provide access to images. We are gradually enhancing and extending this information.


The studied specimens by us are currently focused on tropical American and African countries. We only include the species name (current identification) when the collection has been studied by us. You can find the previous identification (if any) in the advanced search.


The georeferenced specimens can be found on the map provided by Google. Coordinates enclosed in square brackets [ ] indicate that specimens have been subsequently georeferenced.


Please note that if the requested search involves thousands of records, the listing may take a long time to generate. You must be patient. Usually, lists of more than 10,000 records it is not possible to generate at this moment.
