    Botanical and wood samples images of 19 Peruvian species collected in the regions of Huánuco, Loreto and Ucayali

    The Dataset includes images of botanical samples and transverse sections of wood samples of 19 Peruvian species, as well as detailed information on the collections in which the samples above were obtained. The collections were carried out in Peru in 2020, in Huánuco, Loreto, and Ucayali regions. These collections were carried out within the framework of the project A wood species identification tool to aid in compliance and enforcement of Peruvian timber regulations funded by the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) and the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) under the USAID Prime Award Number AID-0AA-A-11-00012, to generate a photographic database of transverse sections of wood samples belonging to Peruvian species, for identification in the field with the XyloTron system. To generate the database, trees of commercially important species were identified from which botanical samples were collected and wood slices were extracted from the basal, middle, and apical sections. The botanical samples were deposited and identified in nationally certified herbaria. The slices were sized until obtaining xylotheca-sized samples (2 cm x 10 cm x 15 cm), whose cross sections were sanded until the anatomical components were appreciated. Finally, the XyloTron system database was generated through images obtained from the cross sections of the sanded samples using the Xyloscope device.
