Evidentiary scope
The database gives the place as a point about 2 km south-west of Thandabantu Primary School at Engodini Village, Weenen, the date as 22 June 2006 and the altitude as 904 m. It gives the habitat as Vegetation type: Valley Bush Veld. and the plant as C 1 m high. Uncommon. (about a metre high; uncommon). These name a kind of vegetation, a height and how often the plant was met. They say nothing about whether it was cultivated, grew wild or had escaped. The accession is classified Unknown, and no conservation priority is assigned.
The Botanical Database of Southern Africa publishes no image of this sheet. Its image count is zero, and so is the image count of all 1,361,966 rows in the database: the store is empty, and SANBI's own site still lists plant images among its plans. The accession carries no image until the herbarium supplies a scan.
Georeferencing
The point -28.842778, 30.051111 is the one the herbarium database, BODATSA, publishes for this sheet. BODATSA gives its accuracy, 100m, which marks a field reading; the quarter-degree square 2830CC is carried beside it in the database. The point falls in KwaZulu-Natal, the province the page states. Basis: holder's georeference. Uncertainty: about 100 m.
Editorial treatment
The KwaZulu-Natal Herbarium publishes no per-specimen page. Five permalink shapes were tried for a sheet and all answered 404, so the accession cites the database itself and the barcode identifies the sheet.
