Evidentiary scope

The label's locality line reads Konain. Common near villages., in Jaunsar, at 7,000 feet, in September 1890. It gives the local name Bhang and adds Coarse ropes made of the bark. The plants grew about the villages, with no word of cultivation. The accession is classified Feral, by inference from the label; the label does not say whether the plants descended from a crop. A single gathering does not establish a continuing population, and no conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

Jaunsar on the printed heading is the Jaunsar-Bawar tract of Dehradun District. Konain matches a hamlet of that name at Tyuni, in Dehradun district and inside the Jaunsar-Bawar tract the heading names (OpenStreetMap node 8880884464). It stands at about 2,267 m against the label's 7,000 feet, which is 2,134 m. The coordinate is that hamlet, 30.79, 77.89, used as a locality georeference rather than as a reconstructed collection point. The altitude agreement is looser than the one on Talk:Lace 436 (1890) and the tract holds many hamlets, so the locality field names Jaunsar-Bawar and not the hamlet: a structured field does not carry an inference that a coordinate may. The altitude of 7,000 feet is stored as 2,134 m.

N.-W. Provinces on the heading is the North-Western Provinces, in which the label places Jaunsar.

The coordinate georeferences the place the label names, at two decimal places, with the mapped object named above. The point locates this sheet to about 3 km, and the article's prose is unchanged. Éloise 06:11, 18 September 2026 (+07)

Editorial treatment

The title keeps the collector's name as the label gives it, Keshava Nand, instead of treating Nand as a surname. The collector number takes the same form.

The words Coarse ropes made of the bark are written in brackets after the locality, with bark above the line. The article quotes them without the closing full stop.

The name line of the printed label is blank. The determination rests on the pencilled name on the sheet and on the catalogue.

Source citations remain in the article. Éloise 21:15, 17 September 2026 (+07)
