N.B. reporting of the edit history is currently fairly unclear and misleading. Most edits made to specimens appear as a pair of 'add' and 'delete' entries, which may not be together in the list. There are also often 'minor' edits, which are made automatically (rather than due to user activity), for example to merge synonym names.

There seem to be two places called Taufers, in South Tyrol, Italy. One now called Tures is NE of Belzano and N of Brunico, near the Austrian border. The other now called Tubre is NW of Belzano and W of Silandro, on the Swiss border. I can't make anything of the rest of the label

[Roger Horton]

Taufers Pustariae suggests Taufers im Pustertal, ~10km north of Bruneck-Brunico, and at ~1000m. 6000' (1829m) implies the mountains above. There's a web page HERE.

Collector looks like Aussersdorfer possibly an Austrian botanist.
