Collector’s notes, as written
Aggressive, dangerous, and exotic. First noted by us about 1967 here in open rainforest. We eradicated plant until we noticed it had spread to Mauka of Hilo. Hopeless!
The claim stack
Everything anyone has asserted about this sheet, oldest first. Machine readings enter at the bottom and never overwrite a line above them. This is how determination slips have always worked; VISION only keeps the practice honest when the annotator is a model.
