Evidentiary scope

The printed label is headed Herb. Hort. Bot. Calcuttensis and Flora of Assam. Its handwritten fields give the name Cannabis sativa, the locality Dhuhi and the date February 1902, with A. C. Chatterjee printed as collector. No collector number, altitude or field observation is entered on the label. The three sheets inspected carry matching labels and are treated as duplicates from one unnumbered gathering. The labels supply no habitat, cultivation status, local name or use, so nothing shows how the plant grew. The accession is classified Unknown. It shows no continuing population, no feral population, no landrace and no living germplasm holding. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The three inspected labels appear to read Dhuhi. The Zurich catalogue transcribes the locality as Dhubi, the RSA and Bell Museum records use Dhuhi, and the Meise record indexes the duplicate as Tezpur. No verified modern place match was found, so the label form Dhuhi is retained and no district or coordinate is asserted.

Editorial treatment

The Bell Museum record places Dhalhi in its habitat field even though the sheet's Hab. line contains the locality name and no ecological observation. That value is treated as a transcription artefact and is not reported as habitat. The Meise record's March date conflicts with the February date visible on the three inspected duplicate labels; the accession therefore uses February 1902. The Zurich sheet is used as the lead image because its occurrence record is released under CC BY 4.0.

Sequence data

The infobox lists BioSample SAMEA112688685 and its runs ERR10949854, ERR10950001 under the relation Other sheet of this gathering: the tissue came from the California Botanic Garden duplicate RSA0126604, another sheet of the same gathering, and not from the Zurich sheet (Z-000164587), the sheet this accession's catalogue number names. The match:

  • its ref_biomaterial link is the Consortium of California Herbaria entry for RSA0126604;
  • its occurance_id attribute (so spelt), 0627aed3-0e74-445d-8e72-18950ee1906b, is the occurrence identifier of that entry and of GBIF occurrence 2430342570;
  • its specimen_voucher, RSA:POM:166279, carries the entry's POM accession: 166279;
  • its collector, date and locality (A. C. Chatterjee, 1902-02, Assam, Dhuhi.) are the label's.

The article reports what the archive's entries say about the sampling and the sequencing, and no analysis of the data. Éloise 04:44, 7 October 2026 (+07)

Other sheets

Two more sheets are catalogued under Chatterjee in Assam in 1902: Manchester Museum K22722, February 1902, locality As3 (GBIF 1932948934), and Smithsonian US 516739, March 1902 (GBIF 1317666967). Neither catalogue gives Dhuhi, and neither publishes an image. The Manchester sheet's month agrees with the three inspected labels; the Smithsonian sheet's March agrees with the Meise sheet's catalogue date, which conflicts with them. The article names both as further Chatterjee sheets of 1902, not as duplicates of this gathering, and the infobox is unchanged.

Harvard's index adds two sheets under A. C. Chatterjee with the locality Assam: barcode 00449850 (Arnold Arboretum herbarium, 1902) and barcode 00449851 (Gray Herbarium, March 1902). Neither entry gives Dhuhi or a number, and Harvard publishes no image of either. The first agrees with the gathering's year only; the second's March agrees with the Smithsonian and Meise catalogue dates rather than with the February of the three imaged labels. The article names both as further Chatterjee sheets of 1902, not as duplicates of this gathering, and the infobox is unchanged. Éloise 00:50, 29 October 2026 (+07)
