Bang General Population 1905 is a historical seed accession of Cannabis sativa that the United States Department of Agriculture received from Xinjiang, in western China, on 17 November 1905 and numbered plant introduction (PI) 16333.[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
Ellsworth Huntington sent a consignment of 33 kinds of seed (nos. 16303 to 16335) from Chinese Turkestan by way of the Chinese amban of Khotan, Mr. Macartney, the British political agent at Kashgar, and Baku. The department received it on 17 November 1905. Its printed inventory heads the consignment "From Kashgar", quotes Huntington on the Khotan oasis, and lists each seed under a local name. This hemp is Bang, with the note "Used for smoking".[2]
