[= conceptacles?]’. Annotation slip in latter box marked ‘Tømte Konc.? [= empty conceptacles?]’.
Grouped with A24-1440, two M’Calla collections of L. dentatum (A24-1417,

1443) under one entry in Adey & Lebednik 1967: 45, who mistakenly list ‘1899’ as the collection

found]" (Woelkering et al. 2005: 198).
