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 Hosur in Salem District at 3,000 feet. Current Tamil Nadu government records place Hosur in Krishnagiri District; the infobox uses the current administrative hierarchy. The label names the city but not a collection point within it, so the coordinate is Hosur's own point in OpenStreetMap (node 983364958), 12.73, 77.83, used as a locality georeference rather than as a reconstructed collection point. Hosur stands at about 880 m against the label's 3,000 feet, which is 914 m. The altitude was converted to approximately 914 m.

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 3 km, and the article's prose is unchanged. Éloise 06:11, 18 September 2026 (+07)

Editorial treatment

The label writes the date as 2.8.32. Its day/month order is ambiguous, while GBIF interprets it as 8 February 1932; only the verified year is stored in the infobox. The 1932 and 1933 sheets share collector number 490, locality and elevation, but carry different years and different mounted material, so they are treated as separate collection events rather than duplicate sheets. The collector's name is transcribed from the sheet as Mrs. Kanoth Yeshoda.
