The collectors (Watters, Wildekamp and Sainthouse) did apply a geographic
name (as well as the alpha-numeric code) to this locality and the fact that
it may not always be used is not their fault. The geographic name associated
with this collection site was "Bagamoyo", a location that is very easy to
find on a map of Tanzania.
