Durando s.n., Sig is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa credited to Gaetano Durando and gathered in 1850. Its locality reads Cultivé à l'Union agricole du Sig, which places the plant under cultivation at Sig in western Algeria. The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris holds the sheet as catalogue P06886052.[1] GBIF publishes it as occurrence 731718630.[2]
Collection and locality
The locality is transcribed as Cultivé à l'Union agricole du Sig.[1][2] The wording states cultivation and not mere presence. No habitat, altitude or collection number is carried.
The date is a span running from 21 June to 22 September 1850, so the gathering is placed inside a season and not on a day.[2] The infobox stores the year.
Sig lies in Mascara Province, east of Oran.[3] A second sheet of the same year, Barat s.n., Sig (1850), gives its locality as Cultivé à l'Union du Sig près Oran.[4]
Gaetano Durando lived from 1811 to 1892, so a gathering of 1850 falls inside his working life.[5] The curatorial label of the Bullemont herbarium, which holds the Dukerley sheet in this batch, names G.L. Durando among the botanists whose material reached that collection.[6]
