Evidentiary scope

The label's observations read Plante cultivée au milieu des plants de riz des collines. (a plant cultivated among hill rice), at Pan Lung in the Mae Sa watershed, at 1,000 metres, in November 1977, and give the habitat as Hill Evergreen Forest. The plant was not in flower when picked. The label gives no local name and no use. Seed of drug-type cannabis from elsewhere reached Thailand in the 1970s (McPartland and Small 2020, pp. 84–85), so the date of this sheet does not exclude introduced seed. The class rests on the label: cultivation among hill rice. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the label. The sheet does not show what became of the crop or whether its seed survives, and no conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The label gives its own coordinates, 98°48′ E and 18°54′ N, to the minute. The infobox stores them at 18.90, 98.80; a minute of arc is about 1.8 km here. The point stands at 1,030 m on SRTM against the label's 1,000 m. It reverse-geocodes to Mae Rim District, which the district field follows.

Editorial treatment

The collector field uses J.-P. Boulanger, the catalogue's form of the label's J-P Boulanger. The locality field uses Watershed, the word Boulanger 1262's label writes in full; on this sheet the word is partly hidden by a leaf.

The DNA slip is reported as it reads; the study it names has not been traced.

Source discrepancies

  • Meise's catalogue gives the locality as Mae Sa Walushed (Pan Lung). The label's word is partly hidden. The same collector's label on Boulanger 1262 writes Mae Sa Watershed. The locality field follows the latter.
