Garrett 852 is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa collected on Doi Langka in northern Thailand on 2 December 1933 by H. B. G. Garrett. The Forest Herbarium (BKF) in Bangkok holds the sheet as accession BKF 4603, barcode SN 009248.[1] A duplicate of the gathering, received from the Kew herbarium, is held by the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh as E01459333.[2]
Collection and locality
The printed label of the Siam Forest Service gives the locality as Doi Langka and Mê Soi (in Thai, ดอยลังกา and แม่สอย). It gives the altitude as Aneroid c 1100 metres.[3] It carries Garrett's number 852 and the date 2 Dec 1933. A string tag on the stem repeats 852 2/12 1933.[3] The Forest Herbarium's catalogue gives the major area as Chiang Rai.[1]
Recorded local name and use
The label gives the local name as Pān, with the Thai ป่าน. It describes the plants as Shrubs about 10 ft and records them as Cultivated by Mêo people for weaving.[3] Writing in 1987, David Filbeck noted that the people called Meo had come to be called Hmong, the name they use for themselves.[4]
Specimen and identification
The label names the plant Cannabis sativa, Linn.[3] The catalogue records it as Cannabis sativa L.[1] The sheet carries a tall flowering stem and is marked with the male sign. Its colour entry reads Fl.: pale green.[3] Garrett 851, collected at the same place on the same day, is marked with the female sign.
The Edinburgh duplicate carries the label Ex Herb. Hort. Bot. Reg. Kew. and the entry Siam, 852, Cannabis sativa Linn. and H. B. Garrett. It dates the gathering 3.12.33, a day later than the Forest Herbarium's label.[5] The garden's catalogue files the sheet under the herbarium region Indo-China and records no collector, date or country.[2]
