Evidentiary scope
The database gives a collector, a number, a date and a province. It is a single gathering and shows neither a continuing population nor a living germplasm holding, so it supports neither a landrace nor a feral classification. The accession is classified Other. No conservation priority is assigned.
The field note is a description of the plant, not a statement of its use.
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. Under the coordinate ruling of 18 September 2026 that is no point at all, 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.
A master's thesis on the ethnobotany of the Hmong of Mae Rim District was submitted by a V. Nguanchoo at Mahidol University in 2014, and the vouchers of the study it fed were deposited at this herbarium. Whether this sheet is one of them was not established, and the article does not say so.
These notes were recorded during accession preparation. Source citations remain in the article. Éloise 17:22, 23 September 2026 (+07)
