The land area in hectares.
One hectare is 2.471 acres. The common shorthand of two and a half acres runs about 1% high, which is immaterial in conversation and not in a deed.

Metric land descriptions being read against American conventions need this direction, most often when an overseas holding is being valued or compared. A hectare is 2.471 acres, and the widespread shorthand of two and a half is about one percent high — trivial in discussion and not trivial across a large parcel where a percent of the area is a percent of the value. Worth remembering too that converting an area does not convert a boundary description: a metric survey defines boundaries by distance and bearing, and only the original survey is authoritative for legal purposes. The converted acreage is for comparison, not for conveyancing.
