01Narrative

Weinmannia fraxinea is a tree in the family Cunoniaceae. It grows up to 40 m tall. The bark is grey to dark brown. Inflorescences bear up to three pairs of flowers. The specific epithet ' is from the Latin meaning "ash tree", referring to the leaves' resemblance to those of the genus Fraxinus. In Malaysia's Sarawak state the leaves are used to make a dye. The tree grows in a wide variety of habitats from sea level to 2000 m altitude. W. fraxinea is found widely in Malesia.

05DNA & barcoding5 eDNA hits

A DNA barcode is a short, standardised stretch of genes that works like a fingerprint — enough to tell one species from another. Below is the molecular trace Pterophylla fraxinea has left across the world's sequence archives.

09Environmental DNA5 detections

Where the DNA of Pterophylla fraxinea was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
