Evidentiary scope
The museum's database gives the place as อ.โพธิ์ทอง จ.อ่างทอง (Pho Thong, Ang Thong), the collector as ปัทมา จารุอรรจนภัทร and colleagues and the date as 3 October 1968, and the habitat and soil as ดินปนทราย (sandy soil). The entry names a kind of soil, not whether the plant was cultivated, grew wild or had escaped, and it records no use beyond the names the label carries. The published image is too small to read the label with confidence. The accession is classified Unknown. It is a single gathering and shows no continuing population and no living germplasm holding. No conservation priority is assigned.
The museum publishes one image of the sheet, about 560 by 800 px, and states no licence for it. It is shown here under fair use, with a rationale on the file page.
Georeferencing
The database's place is Pho Thong, Ang Thong, a district and a province, and no place within them. The district is georeferenced rather than declined: the infobox holds 14.68, 100.32, the point OpenStreetMap gives for the administrative area of Pho Thong District. It is an area point for the district, not a collection point, and it places the gathering only to within about 15 km. This supersedes the refusal recorded here earlier, which declined a point.
Editorial treatment
The database gives the date in Thai, in the Buddhist Era. The article gives both forms. For these years the conversion is CE = BE - 543.
The database's collector field is ผู้จัดเก็บ, which covers both collecting and keeping. Where it lists several names, the infobox holds the first and the article quotes the whole string, as the wiki does for other multi-collector gatherings. Whether the names are of one person or several, and which are given names, was not established: Thai names in this database carry no comma between a given name and a surname, and the one sheet that does use a comma separates two people that way.
The page is titled by its catalogue number because the source gives no collector's number.
The database's other name, คุนเช้า (khun-chao), is the name the Queen Sirikit Botanic Garden's medicinal-plant database gives as Chinese. The article quotes it and does not gloss it further.
