Hummel 874 is a herbarium accession of Cannabis collected in the Bogdo Ola (Bogda Shan), the mountains east of Ürümqi in Xinjiang, China, on 19 August 1928 by David Hummel of Sven Hedin's Sino-Swedish Expedition. Hummel recorded his own doubt whether the plant was cultivated or native. The Swedish Museum of Natural History holds the sheet as S-GH-4810.[1]
Collection and locality
The printed label of the expedition reads Turkestania sinensis (Prov. Sinkiang): in montibus Bogdo Ola (Chinese Turkestan, province of Sinkiang: in the Bogdo Ola mountains) and D. Hummel. It is completed by hand with the number 874, the date 19/8 1928 and in valle sup. Mou-choul-go, in prato (cult. vel nat.?), ca. 1300 m. (in the upper valley of Mou-choul-go, in a meadow, cultivated or native?, at about 1,300 m).[2] The catalogue gives the same place and altitude and the date 19 August 1928, but renders the collector's question as (cult. ?).[1]
Specimen and identification
The label names the genus only, Cannabis, and the catalogue records the sheet as Cannabis L.[1] The sheet carries two slender branched stems with small flower or fruit clusters.[2] Hummel's other cannabis gatherings in the Bogdo Ola that summer are numbers 164, 679, 908, 909; a year earlier he had collected a cultivated plant in southern Mongolia, Hummel 1330 (1927).
