Evidentiary scope

The label records the plant as cultivated and, where it says so, its uses. It is a single gathering and shows neither a continuing population nor a living germplasm holding, so it supports neither a landrace nor a feral classification. The accession is classified Other. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

As for Martin 1864: Ban Xay Fong was not resolved in OpenStreetMap. No coordinate is asserted.

Editorial treatment

The collector field holds the label's own form. The 1860 label reads Collect.: MARTIN Marie A. and the 1864 label Collect.: Marie Martin. The ethnobotanist Marie Alexandrine Martin worked in Laos and Cambodia in these years, but no source read for this page identifies her as this collector, and none is asserted here. Check it before a person page is linked.

The label dates the gathering to the month, 5/73, and the catalogue to May 1973. The collection date field holds the month, not a day.

The locality field holds Ban Xay Fong, the spelling of the 1864 label, so that the three sheets of the village sort together.

Source discrepancies

• The catalogue writes the village Bon Xay Fonj for this sheet and Bon Xay Fong for Martin 1865; the 1864 label reads Ban Xay Fong. The three are taken to be one village.
