Coordinates and elevation

  • The infobox point, 26.8813, 88.5767, is the OpenStreetMap node for the village (node 6534259734, place=village). SRTM gives 189 m there.
  • The two feral accessions are stored at 26.868157, 88.579474 (176 m), about 1.5 km south of the node. The landrace selection is stored at 26.891109, 88.565993 (207 m), about 1.5 km north-west, a point that falls inside the Kalimpong-I block boundary in OpenStreetMap.
  • The infobox range, 150–207 m, joins the field report's "between 150-200m" to the highest stored accession elevation.

Census

  • Bagrakot Tea Garden (306895, Mal block): 9,971 people in 2,116 households; Scheduled Castes 1,056, Scheduled Tribes 2,914 (2011 C.D. block-wise Primary Census Abstract, Jalpaiguri). The bazar settlement is not enumerated separately.

Source notes

  • Spelling: the accessions and the field report write Bagrakote; the 1911 gazetteer and the census write Bagrakot.
  • The field report describes three Bagrakote collections: a household "Domesticate Landrace Accession #1" (grower pseudonymised), a "Commercial Landrace Accession #1" from purchased flower, and a "Feral General Population Accession #1" from the stand near the market. The wiki holds three accessions: "Bagrakote Selection 2024" and two "Bagrakote Feral Selection" lots. Which of the report's two landrace lots the 2024 selection is cannot be told from the accession page; the article names neither.
  • The gazetteer's printed distance from Dam-Dim to Bagrakot is unclear in the scan's text layer (it reads "6|" on p. 144 and "Of" on p. 114); the article gives no distance.
