Type Status
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:34pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
Unless specified use TYPE only when written on sheet. If more than one type status is given for each specimen choose TYPE and specify the type status in determination notes for each separate determination as appropriate.
If the specimen is a “part of a type” treat it as a type.

Some Options for Linking Specimens with Different Determinations
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:32pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
Option 1:
To link specimens that have a differing number of determinations start data basing the specimen with the least amount of determinations first, then enter the rest of the information as normal and save. You can then attach the second specimen as normal by clicking “add new part”. This should have copied everything over from the first record. It is now possible to enter more determinations for the second record without affecting first record on saving.

Linking Herbarium Specimens
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:10pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
We link specimens only when they have the same Collector, Collector Number and Date. If the specimen only shows Collector and Collector Number and the information is exactly the same for 2 (or more) specimens, these should be linked.

Identifier Barcode
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:10pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
Barcode as on sheet (e.g. K000000001)
If, on the same sheet, there is more than one collection (i.e. specimens with different collectors/collector numbers/collection dates)then use separate barcodes. Enter data for each taxon/collection/collector separately.

Taxon spelling issues
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 8:31pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
If the Genus or species epithet on the Herbarium sheet differs from what is in Tropicos by say one letter. Then enter the species name as it appears in Tropicos but write the following determination notes
Species epithet as on label:

Additional Determinations
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 8:31pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
Additional determinations of the same name are only transcribed more than once if it adds more information.
Example: If we have two determinations say, Rosa alba and Rosa alba L. then only transcribe the name with an author. Or if we have two determinations (of the same name and author) one with a determiner and one without then only transcribe the name with a determiner.
“Vidi” notes are ignored.

Transcription & Interpretation
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 8:30pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
We transcribe the data as written on sheets, labels, folders
Exceptions:
- We will correct the data when the species epithet is written with a capital letter
- We will correct the abbreviation of authors, if we are certain.
If we are interpreting handwriting and are unsure what is written, entries can be written in square brackets i.e. [rocky ground]

Add New Determination
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:32pm(Source: LAPI databasing manual.doc)
Add a new determination for each different name on the sheet or type folder. Only add the same name more than once if there is different information present (i.e. different authors, determinavits or determination dates).

Latin American plant on same sheet as a non-LAPI one.
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:26pm<p>I've found a type folder with two plants on the same sheet, one of them from the U.S.A. (region 13) and the other from Mexico (region 14), filed under region 13.</p>
<p>Laura and Marie-Helene advised me on the following when databasing something like that:

Databasing Issues
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 16 November 2010 - 9:10pmIn order to update the Herbcat manual we need examples of specific problems. If everyone can add their Herbcat problem specimen barcodes, along with a brief description of why it is not clear what to do and how you would go about databasing it.
Thanks!!

GComm in HerbCat
Edited by Kristina Patmore on 20 May 2010 - 3:01pmAfter looking at the manual I have come up with a couple of additions/exceptions to the manual for the General Comments section of HerbCat. They are:
1) If the specimen is similar to another but there is not a strong enough connection to link them then enter 'Associated with K123456789' in GComm
2) When there are multiple barcodes on a sheet (eg >3) enter 'On sheet with K000000101 to K000000106
