A Revision of Solanum Section Lathyrocarpum with 11 Species Descriptions

11 species from North and South America are included in this taxonomic revision of Solanum section Lathyrocarpum. The dataset contains digitized treatments from the journal article by Wahlert, Chiarini, and Bohs published in Systematic Botany in 2015. It provides descriptions, distribution maps, and preliminary IUCN conservation assessments for the species.

Use Cases

• Training species classification models based on described morphological characters like indumentum and flower color.
• Analyzing geographic distribution patterns based on the provided distribution maps.
• Studying ploidy level variation (n = 12, 18, 24, 36) within a plant clade.
• Assessing conservation status using the preliminary IUCN assessments included.

Strengths

• Includes data for 11 distinct species with formal taxonomic descriptions.
• Provides multiple data types: morphological descriptions, distribution maps, and conservation assessments.
• Documents a variety of ploidy levels (n = 12, 18, 24, 36) present in the group.

Limitations

• Row count and file format are unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Last update date is unknown; freshness unverified.
