Evidentiary scope

The label describes the plant as very common along roadsides, in barnyards and in waste places. These are direct records of ruderal occurrence and support the Feral classification. The sheet does not distinguish escaped cultivation from a longer-established population and does not establish a named landrace or living germplasm holding. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The label records Rawalpindi, Punjab, at 1,700 feet. GBIF retains India as the country, reflecting the historical collection geography, while Rawalpindi is now in Punjab, Pakistan; the infobox uses the current country and administrative hierarchy. No coordinate is asserted because the label identifies the city but not a collection point within it. The altitude was converted to approximately 518 m.

Editorial treatment

The collector number is recorded as s.n. because neither the label nor the institutional record supplies a number. The label's phrase very common is attributed rather than adopted as an independent assessment.
