Sequences FJ556825-30 and FJ556857 (marked with * in Fig. 1, Fig. S2 and Table S1) were obtained from roots of herbarium vouchers sampled by G.W. Schimper and T. Kotschy on their pioneering field trips to North Africa in the 1830s and 1840s.
The Kikuchi patterns can be compared to patterns from standard and vouchered samples.
Voucher samples are archived in the laboratory and are available for analysis by contacting the corresponding author.
Voucher samples were deposited in the Herbarium of the Department of Pharmaceutical Botany of the Faculty of Pharmacy, University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Timisoara, voucher BB1265/10.
For the same patch conduct ecological assessments (using plots).b Plant species in the plots to be identified by herder scouts (deposit voucher samples in National Herbaria).
We also stress the need for voucher samples to be retained to ensure the repeatability of results and allow for further analytical methods to be applied to specimens in the future.
Additionally, the accuracy of sequence data cannot be verified given that sequence tracefiles or voucher samples are not retrievable via GenBank.
Voucher samples are held at QUT.
DNA has been stored, and voucher samples are deposited at the Entomological Collection of ETH Zurich.
Voucher samples were preserved at the Plant Quarantine Laboratory, Guangdong Inspection and Quarantine Technology Center.
