Biology Botany Tables, text file and graph Surveys, conducting herbarium studies by documenting exotic plant species housed by the National Herbarium, Harare, Zimbabwe Raw, filtered and analyzed All parameters of available data were taken and processed based on 2916 herbarium records Herbarium specimen retrieval Harare, Zimbabwe The data are available with this article

Value of the data – The data are critical in tracking floristic changes and patterns of spread of exotic plant species. – This data are important for monitoring purposes and also to fill the gaps in plant distributional ranges. – This data will contribute to better understanding of the ecological impacts of exotic plant species. – List of herbarium specimens of exotic plant species will help in future research on this category of plant species.

1. Data Many non-native plants in Zimbabwe were introduced decades ago through agriculture and horticulture. A number these exotics now occupy large stretches of land and form characteristic features of the Zimbabwean flora. The number of plant exotics increase with time, 1449 exotic taxa have been recorded in Zimbabwe, a country comprising about 6000 plant species [1]. But only a handful of exotic plant species are represented in local herbaria, although most of these species are known to be widely distributed than indicated in herbaria. This development is unfortunate as herbaria must provide quality specimens and data that represent an overview of floristic changes over time. Herbarium specimens can also be used to document plant distributional changes such as exotic species expansions. Periodic plant collecting expeditions are important for monitoring purposes and also to fill the gaps in plant distributional ranges. Collection of herbarium specimens helps in the identification of invasive exotics and detection of new introductions. The herbarium specimens usually contain important historical information about plant species which is critical for scientific studies. Such information on herbarium labels includes the identity of the species and other details such as family, habit, plant height, leaf arrangement, shape, size, flower colour, shape and size. Other important information usually included on the herbarium label include details about the collector, his or her name, collector’s number, the locality, year of collection of the plant species, description of the habitat and notes on uses of the plant species if any and also size of the population. For exotic species, experienced collectors usually include

information such as life history traits, such as habit, population size and perceived invasion status, whether casual, naturalised or invasive. Pyšek et al. [2] defined a casual alien as a plant species that reproduces occasionally outside cultivation and it does not form self-sustaining populations and relying on repeated introductions for its persistence. According to Pyšek et al. [2], a naturalised species is defined as an alien species that reproduces consistently without direct human intervention, and invasive alien species as a naturalised species that produces offspring in large numbers and at considerable distances from the parent plants with the potential to spread over a large area. Studies of the distributional history of non-native plant species can provide us with the knowledge of their earliest locations, patterns of colonization and rates of spread. A better understanding of their establishment and distributional changes over time is vital for making informed decisions in managing existing introductions and in predicting future invasions. To explore the importance of herbarium specimen data for understanding floristic changes and patterns in Zimbabwe with regards to non-native plants, herbarium specimens collected in the country that are housed in the National Herbarium of Zimbabwe, Harare were inventoried. The first herbarium records and subsequent temporal collection of each taxa were identified and recorded.

2. Experimental design, materials and methods Included in this data are those plant species considered to be naturalized in Zimbabwe [1,3,4]. Therefore, a database of casual, naturalised and invasive alien flora [2], occurring in Zimbabwe was compiled based on herbarium records. All alien plant species ever recorded in Zimbabwe as escapes from cultivation or naturalised at least once in the wild, and housed by the National Herbarium, Harare, Zimbabwe (SRGH, acronym adhere to Index Herbariorum) [5], were included in the database. Plant species introduced in Zimbabwe or cultivated without any evidence of having escaped were not considered. Information on herbarium labels, including locality and year of collection of the plant species, was examined and recorded. For each taxon, information on year when the plant species was first collected, mode or purpose of introduction, its invasion status in Zimbabwe and subsequent temporal collection data were extracted from the herbarium records. The mode or purpose of introduction was included, and also whether the introduction was accidental or intentional. The correct identities and names of all the taxa listed were checked and, where names have changed, the currently accepted name was applied. Therefore, plant taxa name, families and plant authorities were verified using taxonomical floras, journal articles and internet sources such as the International Plant Name Index (www.ipni.org), the Missouri Botanical Garden's Tropicos Nomenclatural database (www.tropicos.org) and the Royal Botanic Garden and Missouri Botanic Garden plant name database (www.theplantlist.org). A total of 2916 plant specimens were recorded, comprising of 401 taxa, 237 genera and 76 plant families (Table 1). Appendix A provides an alphabetical listing of plants taxa. Close to three quarters of these taxa (77.6%) belong to 19 families given in Table 2. Pant families Asteraceae, Poaceae and Solanaceae accounted for the highest number of species (Table 2). A significant proportion of the exotics (61.6%) are represented in the National Herbarium by between one to five

specimens (Table 3). Twenty eight specimens (1.0%) were collected between 1870 and 1908, prior to the establishment of the National Herbarium in 1909 and 123 specimens (4.2%) were collected in the first 25 years of the establishment of the institute (1909–1934) (Fig. 1). Most of the herbarium specimens were collected between 1930 and 1980 (Fig. 1). Intensive collection of herbarium specimens of casual, naturalised and invasive alien plant species occurred between 1950 and 1970 with reduced collecting activity in the 1990s and 2010 (Fig. 1). A total of 1184 herbarium specimens representing 231 taxa (57.6%) of the exotic species pre-date 1950. By 1970, 2500 herbarium specimens representing 358 taxa (89.3%) had been collected (Appendix A). Results of the present study are important in understanding distributional changes of introduced plant species in Zimbabwe.
