description: Here we provide the image dataset and supporting data files for the following primary article. Please refer to the primary article and the supporting data (provided here) for all details.<br>Wilf P, SL Wing, HW Meyer, J Rose, R

S Hu, A Iglesias, KR Johnson, TS Karim, X Zou. 2021. An image dataset of cleared, x-rayed,
and fossil leaves vetted to plant family for human and machine learning. <i>PhytoKeys </i>187: 93–128, doi:10.3897/phytokeys.187.72350 https://doi.org/10.3897/phytokeys.187.72350<br>Files are provided here as zip archives, as follows. v1.0 is the dataset that corresponds precisely to the published article and will be preserved here. Any future updates provided here will use new version numbers.<b><br></b><b>Extant_Leaves_A-E_v1.0.zip</b><b>Extant_Leaves_F-O_v1.0.zip<br></b><b>Extant_Leaves_P-Z_v1.0.zip<br></b>Families A–E, F–O, and P–Z, respectively, of cleared and x-rayed leaf images.<br><b>Florissant_Fossil_v1.0.zip</b><br>Fossil-leaf image collection from Florissant Fossil Beds National Monument.<b><br></b><b>General_Fossil_v1.0.zip</b><br>Fossil-leaf image collection from several other sites in North and South America.<br><br><b>General_Fossil_uncropped_v1.0.zip</b>Reference set of the uncropped image versions for the General Fossil collection, for access to scale bars and other archival information not otherwise available digitally (see main article). Filenames are suffixed with "_uncropped" and may have minor differences in format from the cropped set. <br><b>supplemental_data_v1.0.zip</b><br>Archive containing three files:<i><b><br></b></i><i><b>Master_inventory_leavesdb_v1.0</b><br></i>Master inventory file listing all extant and fossil specimens.<br>See details in the main article (esp. table 1) for how to look up additional specimen data, which are easily available on the Web for most of the collections using the catalog numbers listed in this inventory file (also see below). Please note that the catalog numbers listed here may be primary or secondary, as described in the main article (table 1). The "old_Family" field preserves legacy data that can assist in locating physical specimens in the collections, which usually retain their original taxonomic organization (see main text).<br>The other two files are catalogs of specimen data not otherwise available on the Web (see main article).<b><i><br></i></b><b><i>General_fossils_catalog_v1.0.csv</i></b><br>Specimen data for the "General fossil" image collection.<b><br></b><i><b>Wing_x-ray_catalog_v1.0.csv</b><br></i>Voucher data for the Wing X-Ray image collection.Technical notes:Catalog number field in the Master Inventory file = negative number + leaf number as listed in this file.Example: "Wing_199-001" in the Master Inventory = negative 199, leaf 1 here =<i> Alphonsea arborea</i> (Annonaceae) = primary voucher US 904529.Some typographical errors in this legacy catalog are left as-is, and identifications are not updated here. Vetted spellings and updated family and order assignments can be found by catalog number (= negative + leaf number) in the Master Inventory file.This file includes some additional records that did not meet criteria for the image dataset.<br>
