Malagasy inselbergs: towards a better knowledge of the phytodiversity
Project summary:
The project aims to improve the species level determination of plants collected in Malagasy inselbergs. It will combine taxonomic work and capacity building in plant identification at national herbarium through interaction with plant specialists. Collections will be curated accordingly and the results will be disseminated publicly through Madagascar Catalogue database.
