Remarks

David Seligson 584; Collected by sorcerer [Indigenous and local people are instrumental in collecting plant specimens but historically were not always recognized by name. The Harvard University Herbaria (HUH) preserves data in their original form to retain authenticity and facilitate research and has transcribed data as written on specimen labels. We do not wish to erase these people from their important roles in botanical history, but we acknowledge that names beyond the term “sorcerer” were not always recorded.]
