Country: Formosa

Edited by Kristina Patmore [1] on 28 April 2010 - 9:51am

Hi all,

Formosa in the country field of HerbCat is a TDWG value that actually relates to the Argentine province Formosa. However as you have seen Formosa is also found on some specimens from Region 4 and is actually Taiwan. Whoever has the region that covers Taiwan may want to look at this further. Therefore for these specimens please put Taiwan in the Country field and Formosa in the Country from Label Field. Hopefully when the new version of HerbCat is released the relationships between states and countries will become clearer.

Thanks

Sarah
