Trichospermum galeottii is a species of flowering plant in the family Malvaceae. It was first described by Russian botanist Nikolai Turczaninow and it was given its current name by André Joseph Guillaume Henri Kostermans in 1962. Its native range spans the area between Mexico and Northwestern Venezuela and Peru.

Where the DNA of Trichospermum galeottii 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.
