Evidentiary scope
The catalogue's transcription of the labels places the plants on Waste ground by roadside and calls the plant Native. Very common all over the area. The plants grew outside cultivation. The accession is classified Feral, by inference from the catalogue; it does not say whether the plants descended from a crop. A single gathering does not establish a landrace or a continuing population, and no conservation priority is assigned.
Georeferencing
No point is given. The catalogue names the Saharanpur district of the United Provinces and no place within it. That district is historical: Haridwar District was carved from it in 1988 and lies today in Uttarakhand (English Wikipedia, Haridwar district), so today's Saharanpur District, in Uttar Pradesh, is not the same area, and the district of 1945 spans two of today's states. The province field is left empty for the same reason; the catalogue's Uttar Pradesh is the state of today's district.
Editorial treatment
Two sheets, one accession. The two sheets carry the same number, day, place and habitat; the infobox gives both catalogue numbers.
Collector. The collector field gives J. Sinclair, from the catalogue's Sinclair, James; the entry for the second sheet gives the forename with a question mark, Sinclair [= James?].
Image. The Academy publishes images of both sheets, but its image server refused scripted requests. No image of the sheet was read for this page; its values are the holder's catalogue's.
