Hankow General Population 1912 is a historical seed accession of Cannabis sativa that the United States Department of Agriculture received from Hankow (today part of Wuhan), in Hubei, China, on 21 August 1912 and numbered plant introduction (PI) 34291.[1] No seed of the lot survives. The National Plant Germplasm System, whose database carries the department's introductions, says the accession "no longer exists and can not be requested".[1]
The lot
Roger S. Greene, the American consul general at Hankow, presented the seed, received on 21 August 1912. His note in the printed inventory calls it ta ma, "said to be the hemp which grows higher than all other kinds", and reports two principal varieties of ta ma "in this neighborhood", one yielding three crops a year and the other one; this tall hemp gives one.[2] Greene sent a second lot of ta ma the next spring (NPG-CHN-HUB-0019130001).[3]
