Gazetteer of Costa Rican Plant-Collecting LocalesProyecto Manual de Plantas de Costa Rica
N | Ñ | O | P | Q | R | S | T | U | V | W | X | Y | Z This compilation attempts to account for all important plant-collecting localities within Costa Rica, especially those of historically prominent collectors. Recent collecting localities, especially those (e.g., of MO and INB collectors) already accompanied by very precise label data including coordinates, have not been so assiduously tracked down. Each entry includes the following information: Name of site. Important collectors. Elevation (SLOPE), PROVINCE: Quadrangle, Coordinates. Brief description and/or comments. Remarks regarding the information content:
This compilation is now, and shall always be, a work in progress. We hope that botanists concerned with Costa Rica will put this to heavy use, and keep track of any omissions or errors they may encounter and communicate these to us (with name of collector and other pertinent data). Some names appear with no data at all; these are generally localities that we have been as yet unable to localize, and for which we are especially desirous of information. Some locality names gleaned from literature sources may prove to be transcriptional errors from the original label data.
