| Notes: | Note reads: 'Stated to be a valuable remedy for kidney complaints.' Botanical identification inferred from vernacular name and geography. However, it should be noted that 'Aristolochia sp.' has been pencilled on the card catalogue entry for this specimen,, and is written in pencil on a slip of paper that accompanies the specimen. It is unclear which botanical identification is correct. Card catalogue entry indexed under 'Native Name Only - Roots.' | ||||
