• comments: "...[specimens reported in this article] have been collected over the past 80 yrs. As a consequence, most specimens have limited, descriptive locality data that provides locations based on distances from known villages. Recent fieldwork has provided detailed, GPS based mapping of the most productive outcrops and permit us to place most of the historic localities in a more accurate and stratigraphically detailed framework." Yet they only place a few localities on the figured map. EL
