Poilane 1897 is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa collected at Muong Pun in the province of Sam Neua, Laos, on 17 September 1920 by Eugène Poilane. The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle holds the sheet as P06780054,[1] and the Kew herbarium holds a duplicate as K001392888.[2]
Collection and locality
The handwritten label is headed AUG. CHEVALIER, PLANTES DE L'INDOCHINE and numbered P No 1897. It reads Laos: Muong Pun pro: San Neua, dated 17-9-1920 and signed Coll. Poilane. A longer note below ends 12 à 1300 M d'altitude, récolté entre Na Ham et Nam Anh (1,200 to 1,300 m above sea level, collected between Na Ham and Nam Anh).[3] A printed slip reads Institut Scientifique de Saïgon., M. POILANE. Reçu le 20 Mai 1921., with the pencil note Dupl: L, MO, K, E.[3]
The Paris catalogue gives the locality as Muông Pun pro : de San Neua. Récolté entre Na Ham et Nam Anh (Muong Pun in the province of Sam Neua, collected between Na Ham and Nam Anh), the date as 17 September 1920 and the collector as Poilane, E., number 1897. It gives the elevation as 1,200 to 1,300 m.[1]
The Kew record carries the same collector and number and the date 17/09/1920, with the locality given only as Laos. Kew's catalogue codes the country as Viet Nam.[2]
Recorded local name and use
The label gives the name as Zay: Ko phai, followed by the same name in a non-Latin script. It calls the plant Plante à écorce textile, a plant with a textile bark, plantée près d'une cái nhà meo (planted near a cái nhà meo).[3] Poilane 2365, gathered two months later in Xieng Khouang, gives the name as Ko phai meo.
Specimen and identification
The label describes the plant as Plante de 3M de haut and Fleurs blanches (3 m tall, white flowers), with écorce verte, rameaux alternes, feuilles composées, 5 folioles, longues et dentelées, sol argileux très bon (green bark, alternate branches, compound leaves of five long, toothed leaflets, very good clay soil).[3] The catalogue's field note gives the same description without the textile bark and the soil.[1] The sheet carries a large leafy branch. The plant is recorded as Cannabis sativa L., determined by Querido.[1]
