Identifier
The accession identifier is EAG-MWI-UNK-0120220001, 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 2022 is the year of the first dated document that lists the line: the catalogue capture of 12 April 2022. 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 two regions, central and northern Malawi, and no district, so the province field is empty and the segment is
UNK. - Sequence
0001. The only Malawian line.
Line name
The catalogue headed the line Malawi Gold from 12 April 2022 to 4 June 2023 and heads it Malawi on the current page, which still links a "Malawi Gold Strain Review". The descriptive name uses the name of the first dated document; the current page compares the line to Malawi Gold rather than naming it so.
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 line first appears in the capture of 12 April 2022. The seller's Overgrow review of 16 November 2025 (https://overgrow.com/t/malawi-gold-with-a-pineapple-twist/206999/1) was read from a saved copy.
The 2025 review is of buds bought in Kenya, not of seed. No collector, farmer, collection site or collection date is named.
Typing
- Classification: Other. East Africa Genes' description of its lines as landrace sativas is its own claim and is attributed in the article; a seller's listing 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
No point is given. The seller names only Malawi's Central and Northern regions, together (OpenStreetMap relations 3365650, about 35,690 km², and 3365674, about 27,360 km²), and no place within either.
Source discrepancies
- Image caption. The current catalogue's first photograph under the Malawi heading is captioned "Landrace sativa from Southern Congo".
Conservation priority
Not rated. The sources give nothing about the size or status of the source population.
