Georeferencing Method: Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Version 2012 (The locality description does not explicitly specify the direction traveled away from the road to the place of collection, however, it was inferred that the collector traveled due north, since that is the direction which leads to "Serra da Onça" from the specified entrance point along the road. Georeferenced to 4.5 km N from a point 11.3 km east along the road which connects the city/municipality seat of Santa Luzia to the city of Una, BA-672, in Mun. Una, Bahia. Using Google Maps - Satellite View, located BA-672. Beginning at the point along BA-672 closest to the approximate geographic center of the city of Santa Luzia (-15.4309703 -39.3326426), used Distance Measurement Tool (Google Maps) to measure approximately 11.3 km (11300.5 m) along BA-672 towards the city of Una. Used Canadensys Lat/Long Crosshairs to find the coordinates for this preliminary offset. Input coordinates (-15.3824215 -39.2569077), direction (N), offset distance (4500 m), linear extent (distance from the selected coordinates to the farthest extent of the city of Santa Luzia, 1035.75 m), and measurement error (0.01 m) into the MaNIS Georeferencing Calculator to find the final offset coordinates and the uncertainty radius (according to the Georeferencing Quick Reference Guide, Offset: offset along a path & offset at a heading).)
