from 1900 to after the Second World War, the most significant botanical explorations took place in Liberia, Ghana, DRC and Mozambique. This was followed, between 1945 and 1975, by intensified collecting in virtually all regions, but notably in Ivory Coast, Cameroon, Gabon, the Albertine Rift region and Ethiopia. Finally, in the period after 1975, several regions were explored for the first time, such as northern Benin, while gaps were filled notably in Cameroon, Gabon, Kenya and Tanzania. It also is apparent that, in certain areas, there was no collecting at all, often due to periods of war (e.g. Liberia 1980--2000 and Angola 1975--2002), or the clear drop in collecting in DRC after independence (1960) when various Belgian institutions stopped their explorative work.

In general, we observe that collecting effortsMy views are not necessarily those of my organization, though so far they are tolerant of my quirks. So is my husband, Chris: In May 2012 I left behind a lifetime of singleness to become a wife and stepmother.

When Everything is Missions

No author credit on this one, but it already had two authors (and they needed an editor). So though I put in 120 hours on it, decided it was best to bury my name in the acknowledgements.
