Evidentiary scope

The label gives a local name and calls the plant a medicinal and fibre plant. It does not say where in the district the plant grew, whether it was cultivated or whether it came from the garden's own beds. The accession is classified as Other. It does not establish a continuing population, a feral population, a landrace or a living germplasm holding. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The label names Saharanpur district, now in Uttar Pradesh. It gives no place within the district, so no locality or coordinate is asserted.

Editorial treatment

The date rests on the catalogue's reading of the annotation No. 10.9 89 as 10 September 1889. The annotation is prefixed No. and has no stop between 9 and 89, so it may be a register number instead of a date. No other RBGE sheet catalogued under 10 September 1889 comes from Saharanpur, so there is no sibling label to compare. The date is kept as catalogued until the annotation is read otherwise. If it is a number, the sheet is undated and the title changes.

The label names no collector. The accession is titled by the sending garden and the label number. The collector field is left blank. Sahâranpur is the printed spelling.
