چکیده

Many references to geographic locations are made linguistically, using words to describe the location in terms of objects inthe landscape and the relations among them. In order to attach coordinates to these locations, one must be able to identify them in adatabase which contains representations of the objects and relations as well as coordinates for these features. This article assesses thecorrespondence between the features used in describing locations in an herbarium collection and those represented in standardcartographic databases. An alternative representation for geographic data is suggested.
