Evidentiary scope
The database gives the locality as STANDERTON; BEGINSEL FARM, the collector J. Burtt Davy, the number 1806 and the date 30 March 1904. The farm is named as a place; the entry does not say what was grown on it. It records no habitat, use or note on cultivation, 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
No point is given. The database gives the locality as STANDERTON; BEGINSEL FARM. The farm is not mapped in OpenStreetMap, and the name resolves to more than one place: GeoNames lists four farms called Beginsel in Lekwa, the municipality around Standerton, up to 21 km apart and between 1 and 20 km from the town (OpenStreetMap node 262717510). The database does not say which is meant. Standerton names the district of 1904, whose bounds no source read gives. An earlier version of this note gave no point only because the herbarium database carries no coordinate for the sheet.
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.
