Problem
- A specimen collected in Mexico does not have a "county"
- A specimen collected in Mexico has a "municipio" on the label or the abbreviated form "mun."
Our Solution
Mexico is divided into administrative sections called "states", and these states are further divided into "municipios", sometimes abbreviated "mun." When transcribing a specimen from Mexico, that state (Spanish: estado) should be entered in the State or Province field, and the municipio should be entered into the County field.
