Identifier
The accession identifier is EAG-KEN-KIS-0120200001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.
- Holder segment
EAGstands for East Africa Genes. - Year 2020 is the year of the first dated document that lists the line: the catalogue capture of 7 August 2020. No source gives a collection year, so the identifier takes the first attested year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and the collection date field is empty.
- Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from first attestation.
- Province segment. The seller names Kisumu. The city lies in Kisumu County, so the province field is Kisumu and the segment is
KIS. - Sequence
0001. The only Kisumu line.
Sourcing
The catalogue page Pure African Strains (https://eastafricagenes.blog/pure-african-strains/) was read as it stood on 8 October 2026 and in twelve archived captures from 7 August 2020 to 4 June 2023 (https://web.archive.org/web/*/eastafricagenes.blog/pure-african-strains/). No capture between June 2023 and the current page could be read. The seller's Overgrow posts of 14 July 2023 (https://overgrow.com/t/medicinal-use-of-cannabis-in-east-africa/116917/11), 20 July 2023 (https://overgrow.com/t/african-landraces-and-heirloom-thread/109426/198) and 5 December 2024 (https://overgrow.com/t/kisumu-sativa-landrace-strain-with-medical-uses-in-east-africa/172310/1) were read from saved copies.
"Since 2018" is the seller's statement of when it began getting the line, not a collection date, so it is reported in the article and not entered as one. No collector, farmer, collection site or collection date is named.
Typing
- Classification: Landrace. The seller says that the line takes its name from the city where it is grown, and that some of the traditional doctors of western Kenya grow a few plants for their practice. The seller also says that it collects its seed on road trips in Kenya, Uganda and Tanzania (see East Africa Genes). That ties the line to local growers. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the seller's account, which names no grower, collection site or date. The account has not been checked against other sources. An earlier version of this note classified the line as Other, on the ground that a seller's account does not establish the class of the source population.
- Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. No source gives a chain of custody from a growing population to the seed on sale.
- Accession type is left empty: the sources do not say whether the seed on sale was gathered from growers or reproduced from earlier seed.
- Traits. The flavours and effects in the article are the seller's words. The catalogue's "Vegetation & Flowering" figure counts vegetative growth and flowering together, so it is reported in the article and not entered as a flowering time.
Georeferencing
The point -0.10, 34.75 is the city of Kisumu, OpenStreetMap node 1868373176 (place=city). It reverse-geocodes to Kisumu, City of Kisumu, Kisumu County, Kenya. The city's boundary (relation 16507564, City of Kisumu, the same area as the place relation 16193530, about 289 km²) reaches 19.8 km from the point. A village also named Kisumu lies in Vihiga County; the seller's lake-shore city and tourist destination is the city. It places the line at the city, not at a farm. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 21 km.
Conservation priority
Not rated. The sources give nothing about the size or status of the source population.
