Incompatible birth dates

Sources disagree: July 8, 1726 (SNAC) or in 1730 (author citation in botany and mycology; Trove; International Plant Names Index; Base biographique; Harvard Index of Botanists; BnF authorities; LIBRIS).

The main date retains its own sources. These alternatives overlap neither all other statements nor the main date. Rank is Wikidata editorial priority, not proof.
