Label
Information
“Loc: Toriomoteshima, ○○○ [illegible], Coll: Nakagawa”.

Remarks Colony: several fragments.
Dry specimens. “Toriomoteshima” on the label appears to be an error for “Iriomote-jima” Island. The first name of the collector was inferred based on a list of students of the University in those days (Isono, 1988).
