content: The tag is damaged and the only legible information is "12[?]-G" and "Tbl: o todaku ma [damaged]." This record was compiled based on contexual information in the drawer (Case 27, drawer 5). The other items in the drawer, as well as the drawer under it, are all labelled similarly. One of them is labelled as Taylor, P.M. "Tbl" most likely refers to Tobelo or Tobelorese, a language/region in Indonesia. Page 86 of Paul Michael Taylor's book "A Folk Biology of the Tobelo People," a publication of the Smithsonian Institution, lists "Tbl" as an abbreviation for "Tobelo (=Tobelorese)." Taylor has been listed as the collector due to the similarly labelled specimens in the drawer, the Indonesia locality, and the use of "Tbl" and Tobelo local names. However, it is possible this is not correct. According to the same book, "o todoku" is the local name for Bambusa atra. It is possible that this is referring to Todoku, a place name in Malaku, Indonesia. However, the lack of capitalization and the fact that "todoku" is followed by "ma" implies that this is the local name for a bamboo species.
