Evidentiary scope

The database records Chiang Mai Province, 1 January 2008, an altitude of 1008 m, the collector Jatupol K. and the field note Herb 2-3 m high. Flower pale white. Use plant. (a herb 2 to 3 metres high with pale white flowers, and a plant that is used). The note gives no habitat and no statement on cultivation, and no image of the label is published, so nothing shows whether the plant was cultivated, was growing wild or had escaped. The accession is classified Unknown until the label can be read. No conservation priority is assigned.

QBG publishes no image of this sheet: its database entry reads Specimen's picture not found. The accession is text only until the herbarium supplies a scan.

Georeferencing

QBG's database gives the locality as a province and no more: no district, no village, no coordinate. A province alone is not a point, and none is asserted. The locality field holds the province name.

Editorial treatment

QBG's online dates run one day earlier than the labels wherever the two can be compared: Nanakorn 7031, Nanakorn 8642 and Phengklai T-49897 each read a day later on the Forest Herbarium's scan of the same gathering, and two of QBG's Myanmar sheets read a day later in the Smithsonian's record of their duplicates. The collection date field holds the database's date as it stands. Treat it as unconfirmed, and read the label before relying on the day.

The database gives the collector as Jatupol K., a given name with an initial, and the page follows it; the title uses the given name for want of a surname.

The local name field holds the database's Ma. No source read for this page glosses it.

Source discrepancies

• The database dates the gathering 1 January 2008. A number of the form 08 169 suggests the year and a running number, and the 169th gathering of a year is unlikely to fall on its first day. The date may be a year-only placeholder. It is quoted as the database gives it and should not be relied on without the label.
