Herbarium of Andalas University (ANDA) is one of the active herbaria in Sumatra, Indonesia. Our herbarium host specimens mainly from Sumatra and adjacent islands, but limited numbers of collections also available from elsewhere. Since its establishment in 1983, the herbarium collections have grown with over 65,000 sheets of specimens. Although the collections are actively being used for research and education by locals and internationals, the lack of a database system has made the collections hard to access. Since 2018, we have worked with the Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) to catalog and digitize our collections. Here we reviewed our cataloged specimens. Until now, we have cataloged more than 31,000 of sheet specimens from 1700 species in 340 genera and 29 families of vascular plants. Those are reported in several datasets. This dataset elucidated the geo-referenced data from 676 species in 255 genera within 14 families of vascular plants. Among all of the families we have cataloged here are Acanthaceae, Anacardiaceae, Annonaceae, Apocynaceae, Compositae, Convolvulaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Ebenaceae, Lauraceae, Leguminosae, Melastomataceae, Primulaceae, Rutaceae, Ulmaceae. Among them are 3 species that are endemic to Sumatra, Endangered (1 species) , Near Threatened (1 species), Vulnerable (8 species), Least concern (79 species) and 1 species protected under Indonesian government regulation. This data mobilazation program is our first step to improve research and education for plant species in Sumatra.Purpose
The aim of this project is to digitize the specimens hosted at the Herbarium ANDA, to publish a checklist of the flora of Sumatra, and to promote the database of Sumatran plant diversity.
Sampling Description
Study Extent
The collections hosted at the Herbarium ANDA were from research projects of faculties, foreign researchers, and students at the university. The collecting methods were using the standard collecting method for dried specimens. A few donated specimens were collected based on the collecting method used at the institutions from the specimen originated. The duplicates of the specimens were hosted across several herbarium, such as Bogoriense (BO), Singapore Botanical Garden (SING), and Botanical Garden of Edinburgh (E). The duplicate specimens that have not been sent were hosted at a designated room for duplicate specimens at the Herbarium ANDA. Every year, we add around 200 sheets of new specimens into the herbarium.Sampling
The collecting method for the dried specimens was referred to published procedures of preparing herbarium materials (Bridson and Forman,1992). The plant materials were collected and pressed in the field then mounted on an A2 paper after the specimens were dried. Before installation into the herbarium cabinets, the specimens were put into plastic bags. Every sheet of specimens was labeled with the standard information for herbarium collections, including taxonomic identification, locality information, geo-references, collector information, and ecological data. For insect control, we freeze the specimens periodically in -20 degrees Celsius freezer for 72 hours. All of the specimens were stored in the herbarium cabinets. The storage rooms were equipped with temperature and humidity control. All of the specimens were in alphabetical orders based on the families, grouped in several groups of plants, such as dicots, monocots, ferns, and mosses.Quality Control
We divided our working groups into two groups: a) taxonomic determination or identification group and b) data geo-referencing group. For taxonomic determination, the identification was verified by experts on the designated taxa, and also was using book references for the taxa (Ashton, 1982; Van Der Meijden, 1984; Kalkman, 1993; Shaw, 1981). The experts are writers and researchers for the area of studies and have published using the materials at the Herbarium ANDA (Utami, 2006; Hughes, 2009, 2015, Hernawati, 2006). The datum references for each coordinate were collected from the specimen labels using the WGS84 standard. If the coordinate of the locations was not recorded on the labels, we used Google Map to obtain the coordinate based on the locality information of the villages recorded on the labels.Method steps
- The information on the specimen labels is our main data source. For data collection, we conducted in three steps: data capture, data cleaning, and data publication. In the data capture process, we collected all the information on the specimen’s label, and we input the information into Microsoft Excel spreadsheets using Darwin-Core format. In this process, we grouped the specimen information into three groups, consisting of data occurrence, taxon information, and event. We save the file in csv (comma-separated values) format. We included specimen photos and scanning data into the database incorporated in associateMedia field. All the images were stored in flickr-pro media, which then will link with the filed in the dataset. We conducted data cleaning to ensure consistency and standardized data input for the dataset. We used OpenRefine for batch error handling, Canadensys tools for coordinate conversion, and Splink for coordinate verification. To verify the taxonomic nomenclature, we used resolver, iPlant collaborative, ECAT, and Plant list. All the tools we used are open-source software or available as an open online platform. Data publication includes data publishing on GBIF and scientific papers. We published all the dataset that has been cleaned and verified according to our standard on GBIF website using Integrated Publishing Toolkit (IPT) available through the link http://ipt.biologi.lipi.go.id/. After verified by GBIF, all the data will be published under the publisher Herbarium of Andalas University, available through the link https://www.gbif.org/publisher/43f4255c-f218-4a17-857a-ba3ac8456191. The data paper is written following the metadata template available in the IPT. For scientific papers, we will publish the data following the targeted journal format.
Taxonomic Coverages
We have digitized 17,600 sheets of specimens in the group of Magnoliopsida. Consisting of 14 families: Acanthaceae, Anacardiaceae, Annonaceae, Apocynaceae, Compositae, Convolvulaceae, Cucurbitaceae, Ebenaceae, Lauraceae, Leguminosae, Melastomataceae, Primulaceae, Rutaceae and Ulmaceae. In total, we have digitized 631 species, 118 in genera rank and 194 in family rank. The most digitized specimens in amount are Leguminosae and Melastomataceae. Among all of the species that have been digitized, 96 species are listed in IUCN Redlist database, consisting of Least Concern (85 species), Data Deficient (3 species), Vulnerable (6 species), Near Threatened (1 species) and Endangered (1 species) (IUCN, 2019).

Geographic Coverages
The specimens hosted at the Herbarium of Andalas University (ANDA) are primarily from Sumatra. With 473,481 km² in size, the island is the sixth biggest island in the world. It is tropical island located at the coordinate 0° 0′ 0″ N, 102° 0′ 0″ E. The specimens hosted at the herbarium were from several provinces, such as West Sumatra, Jambi, Riau, North Sumatra, Aceh, Bengkulu and Lampung.
The specimens were also collected from conservation areas on Sumatra, such as the Kerinci Seblat National Park, Siberut National Park, Lembah Harau Nature Reserve, Rimbo Panti Nature Reserve, Lurah Berangin Nature Reserve, Bung Hatta Forest Park Conservation Area, and Syarif Hasyim Forest Park Conservation Area. All of the collections were collected from wide range of altitudinal elevations and habitats, from lowland tropical forest up to highland forest as well as montane forest on the Bukit Barisan Mountains. In general, the collections were from volcanoes on Sumatra, such as Mt. Sibayak, Mt. Sinabung, Mt. Sorik Merapi, Mt. Pangulubao, Mt. Sibuatan, Mt. Talamau, Mt. Sago, Mt. Marapi, Mt. Singgalang, Mt. Tandikek, Mt. Gadut, Mt. Talang, Mt. Tujuh, Mt. Kerinci, Mt. Pesagi.
