Evidentiary scope

The catalogue gives the collector P. M. Burgoyne, the number 10063, the date 29 November 2004, the altitude 780 m and the habitat mountain slope. Those words describe the ground. The catalogue says nothing more about how the plant grew, and the label has not been read, so nothing shows whether the plant was cultivated, grew wild or had escaped. The accession is classified Unknown until the label can be read. No conservation priority is assigned.

The Botanical Database of Southern Africa publishes no image of this sheet. Its image count is zero, and so is the image count of all 1,361,966 rows in the database: the store is empty, and SANBI's own site still lists plant images among its plans. The accession carries no image until the herbarium supplies a scan.

Georeferencing

The point -33.683333, 23.148889 is the one the herbarium database, BODATSA, publishes for this sheet. BODATSA gives its accuracy, 100m, which marks a field reading; the quarter-degree square 3323CA is carried beside it in the database. The town of Uniondale, whose district the label names (OpenStreetMap node 54670174), is 3.8 km from the point. Basis: holder's georeference. Uncertainty: about 100 m.

Editorial treatment

BODATSA publishes no per-specimen page: five permalink shapes were tried for a sheet and all answered 404. The accession cites the database itself, and the barcode identifies the sheet.
