Evidentiary scope

The label gives the place Phnom Penh, Dir. des Inv., the country Cambodia and the date 5/73 (May 1973). It gives the vegetation and soil as cultivée (cultivated), the local name Kanhchā chmōl with a margin gloss marking it as the male plant, and the uses food and medicine, after a first-written word for a drug was struck through. It records cultivation, but nothing ties the plant to local growers, and a sheet dated May 1973 falls in the years from 1966 on, so its date excludes nothing. The accession is classified Unknown. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The catalogue's place is Phnom Penh. The coordinate is the OpenStreetMap point for the city, 11.5730, 104.8578. It stands for the named city, not for a collection site within it. The catalogue's Dir. des Inv. was not resolved to an address.

Editorial treatment

The collector field holds the label's own form. The 1860 label reads Collect.: MARTIN Marie A. and the 1864 label Collect.: Marie Martin; this label writes Marie Martin in the field meant for the family. The ethnobotanist Marie Alexandrine Martin worked in Laos and Cambodia in these years, but no source read for this page identifies her as this collector, and none is asserted here. Check it before a person page is linked.

The label dates the gathering to the month, 5/73, and the catalogue to May 1973. The collection date field holds the month, not a day.

Dir. des Inv. is quoted as the label and the catalogue write it and is not expanded: no source read for this page says what the abbreviation stands for.

The local name field holds the label's romanisation Kanhchā chmōl, with its macrons. The label's own gloss makes chmōl the male qualifier; the article gives the gloss and does not expand it further. SE in the red note is quoted as written.

Source discrepancies

The catalogue transcribes the red note as fleur ♀, female. The label's sign is the male one, a circle with an arrow, written the same way in the gloss (chmōl = ♂). The article follows the label.
