Specimen and identification

Anders determined the plant to the genus Cannabis. Karl Heinz Rechinger redetermined it Cannabis sativa subsp. indica in 1976, and the sheet is filed under that name. The catalogue notes that leaf tissue was removed from the sheet for DNA analysis for C. F. Grassa in 2018.
