These are counts of records collected
somewhere in the region, which is the resolution of the
evidence: the map above shows where inside it. A region with
3 records is not the same claim as one with three
hundred, so the count travels with the region. A region missing from
this list means nobody has recorded it there, which is not the same as
the plant being absent. Records within 900 m of a
border count for neither side, because the border is not drawn finely
enough to say which one they are on.
