EBC 43406 is a seed accession of Cannabis sativa from Manchuria, which Kew's catalogue places in China. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew holds it in its Economic Botany Collection as EBC 43406.[1] Kew records its donor as the Japan-British Exhibition of 1910.
The catalogue entry
The catalogue gives the artefact name and the parts held as Seed of hemp, the plant name as 153.04 CANNABACEAE Cannabis sativa, the country as China, the geography description as Manchuria, the storage as Bottles, boxes etc, the entry book number as 152.1910 and the donor as Japan-British Exhibition 1910. The catalogue leaves the collector, collector's number, donor number, donor date and collection date blank.[1]
Kew assigns entry book numbers to each group of specimens at the point of acquisition, in a series that runs each year, so 152.1910 places the seed's arrival at Kew in 1910.[2] Kew also publishes the entry to GBIF, with the locality Manchuria.[3]
