Cleaned occurrence records of the plant subfamily Bombacoideae (Malvaceae): the example dataset used in the README, the vignettes and the function examples, and the worked example of the biomes publication. The subfamily is a well-studied case of biome conservatism at the savanna-forest interface. The records were compiled and cleaned by Zizka et al. (2020) from GBIF, BIEN, speciesLink, RAINBIO and further sources.
