Summary
Voucher specimens are essential for chemical investigations and as reference specimens for taxonomists. Chemical investigations of Ayahuasca in the late 19th century were not documented by voucher specimens, which degraded their work. A herbarium specimen of plant species in the Amazon is necessary to create an open access resource for natural products pharmacology, genomics, and more.
