Evidentiary scope

The catalogue records the plant as cultivated and describes its habit. It gives no use and no local name. The accession is classified Other and no conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The locality is given as a distance from Xieng Khouang, not as a point, and Sam Niou was not resolved: the name is also that of Sam Neua, far to the north in Houaphanh, so a match on the name alone would be unsafe. No coordinate is asserted.

Editorial treatment

The locality field holds the label's Sam Niou. The province field holds Xiangkhouang, the province the catalogue's distance is measured from.

Source discrepancies

• Sam Niou as written resembles Sam Neua in Houaphanh, some 150 km away. The catalogue places the gathering 12 km from Xieng Khouang, and the article follows the catalogue. The resemblance is noted here so that a later reader does not silently move the accession north.
