Evidentiary scope
The label supplies no habitat, cultivation status, common name or use. Neither the collection locality nor the later taxonomic determination establishes whether the plant was cultivated or spontaneous, so the accession is classified as Other. The record does not establish a continuing population, a feral population, a landrace, or a living germplasm holding. No conservation priority is assigned.
Georeferencing
The label records Dehra Dun in the United Provinces. Current district sources identify Dehra Dun as the earlier form of Dehradun, now in Uttarakhand; the infobox uses the current spelling and administrative hierarchy. The label names the city but not a collection point within it, so the coordinate is Dehradun's own point in OpenStreetMap (node 299531301), 30.33, 78.04, used as a locality georeference rather than as a reconstructed collection point. No elevation is recorded.
Entered under R1 of the coordinate ruling of 18 September 2026, which georeferences a historical accession to the place its label names, at two decimal places, with the mapped object named above. The point locates this sheet to about 5 km, and the article's prose is unchanged. Éloise 06:11, 18 September 2026 (+07)
Editorial treatment
The collector is retained as U. Singh because the label and institutional record supply only that initial and surname. The label's California Botanical Garden heading is reported as source provenance; the physical sheet is held by the New York Botanical Garden.
These notes were recorded during accession preparation. Source citations remain in the article. Éloise 19:18, 16 September 2026 (+07)
