Two packets of Weymouthia cochlearifolia, J. Child 3207, were originally numbered CHR 432734. Despite this similarity, the locality and altitudes were recorded differently. The specimen retained as CHR 432734 has locality “Haast, 6 m N. of bridge” and altitude “c 50’”, whereas that now numbered CHR 676180 has locality “Haast” and altitude “500’”. Although these differences could result from errors in transcription by John Child, it is better to give them separate accession numbers.
