Discussion

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. The label identifies the city but not a collection point within it, so the coordinate is Rawalpindi's own point in OpenStreetMap (node 58744442), 33.59, 73.05, used as a locality georeference rather than as a reconstructed collection point. Rawalpindi stands at about 506 m against the label's 1,700 feet, which is 518 m. The altitude was converted to approximately 518 m.

The coordinate georeferences the place the 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 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.

Source citations remain in the article. Éloise 19:18, 16 September 2026 (+07)

Sequence data

The infobox lists BioSample SAMEA112688670 as the same lot as this accession because the tissue was taken from this sheet:

its specimen_voucher attribute is NY:1414430, the catalogue number of this sheet at the New York Botanical Garden;
its occurrence_id attribute, 66d8a5fc-80d3-4268-a9b8-e6322de2af21, is the occurrence identifier GBIF publishes for that sheet;
its ref_biomaterial link is the holder's own page for the sheet (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/vh/specimen_details.php?irn=2045053);
its collector and date (R. R. Stewart, 1913-02) are the sheet's;
its source_material_description reads Leaflets removed from original specimen voucher.

The article reports what the archive's entries say about the sampling and the sequencing, and no analysis of the data. Éloise 04:29, 5 October 2026 (+07)
