[Taxacom] Chinese collecting locality name question

[John Grehan]

My thanks to everyone for the various clues and directions! I feel I have
made some progress, and at least confident about the Province. I went back
to the label information and saw that it also included "Kouy Tcheou" so I
will follow that up as well.
