Glue the label on the right-hand edge and stick it to within ~5 mm from the border of the herbarium sheet. If you do not find enough space and/or the the label would cover plant parts, choose an appropriate area as close as possible to previous revision labels as possible. Always make sure that the labels do not cover parts of the plant (especially flowers and leaves). | + | Arrange specimen labels in the lower right corner of the specimen and above the last revision label.

| + | Always double-check the content of the label before attaching it to the sheet. Common errors include: | ||
| + | |||
| + | * Wrong accepted name noted on the label. This is most problably due to wrong handling of pro parte synonyms. | ||
| + | * Type label for a genus name shows synonymy of the genus name to a species name. This is a limitation of the database and has to be corrected manually. Open the **edit Specimen** window of the relevant specimen, and change the **taxon** entry to the name the synonymy entry on the label should actually point to. Now print the label. Afterwards, do not forget to change the **taxon** entry back to the correct name. | ||
