The label is a later copy of the collecting data, written in simplified characters on a form of the Institute of Botany of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中国科学院植物研究所). It gives the date 1935年8月13日 (13 August 1935), the collector and number 刘瑛 10878, and the place 河北省 (Hebei province) and 小五台山 (Xiao Wutai Shan), followed by two characters that could not be read. A stamp reads Liu Ying. A printed tag of the Shansi-Chihli Exp. of 1929, with W. Y. Hsia's name, is stamped over with Y. Liu, 1935 and numbered 10878. The catalogue gives the collector, number and date, with no locality.
