Evidentiary scope
The database gives the locality as ZEERUST and the date as January 1912, with R. Leendertz as collector and 4319 as the number. It records no habitat, use or note on cultivation, and no image of the label is published, so nothing shows whether the plant 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 database names Zeerust and nothing within it. The point -25.54, 26.07 is the town of Zeerust, OpenStreetMap node 262718954. The 2011 census gives the town 57.09 km² (English Wikipedia, Zeerust), a circle about 4.3 km in radius, and 1 km is added for the rounding of the point. It places the gathering at the town, not at a spot within it. An earlier version of this note gave no point because the database publishes no coordinate for the sheet. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 6 km.
Editorial treatment
BODATSA publishes no per-specimen page: five permalink shapes were tried for a sheet and all answered 404. The accession cites the database itself, and the barcode identifies the sheet.
