Evidentiary scope

The record fixes a cannabis plant at a named place and month, describes its habit and habitat, and preserves a statement that it was smoked. It does not establish whether the plant was cultivated or spontaneous, and the locality cannot presently be resolved to a point. It records no continuing population and no living germplasm holding, so it supports neither a landrace nor a feral classification. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

No coordinates are recorded, and the name Mbunga is carried by more than one place in the country, including a village in Kwilu and an administrative area in Mai-Ndombe. Because the label gives nothing that distinguishes them, no georeference is asserted here and the infobox coordinate field is left empty.

Editorial treatment

The wording is De Graer's own and belongs to the period and to the colonial mission context in which he was writing; it is reported here as his record rather than adopted as description. What the note documents is a distinction drawn locally between two smoked plants, with cannabis the less preferred of them on the ground of its aftereffects. The identity of Boko is not established by the sheet.
