Evidentiary scope
The label places the plant on the eastern slope of the gorge at the village of Chon-Aryk, at 1,060 metres, in July 1969, and gives its habitat as Сорное место (a weedy place). It gives no use and no note on cultivation. The name Cannabis ruderalis on the label is the botanist's determination from the specimen, not a record of where the plant grew. The plant grew outside cultivation. The accession is classified Feral, by inference from the label; the label does not say whether the plants descended from a crop. A single gathering does not establish a continuing population, and no conservation priority is assigned. An earlier version of this note classified the sheet as Other because a single gathering does not establish a landrace or a continuing population.
Label reading
Read twice, independently, from the holder's image (3584 × 5171 pixels). The page states only what the readings agree, except where noted.
- Printed form. ГЕРБАРИЙ ОРЕХОВО-ЗУЕВСКОГО / ПЕДАГОГИЧЕСКОГО ИНСТИТУТА / 19 / № / Собр / Опр. / Орехово-Зуевская типография 15 1759-5000-1969.
- By hand. Cannabaceae (above the printed heading) / Cannabis ruderalis Janisch. / Киргизская ССР, Кантский р-он / с. Чон-Арык восточный склон / ущелья ~~980 м.~~ 1060 м. Сорное место / 15/VII + 69 г. / 69022 / Фролова and three further names / a signature after Опр.
- Readings that differ. The three names after Frolova were not read alike: Буркина or Бурмина, Терентьева, and Карец, Корец or Карел. И. И.; the page gives Frolova, on whom both readings and the catalogue agree, and counts the others. The month was read VII and VII or VIII; a third look finds a V and two strokes, July, the catalogue's month. The signature after Опр. was read as Kaden's by the second reading only; the identified-by field is left empty.
- A pencilled 1973 in the lower right corner, in the hand seen on nearly every sheet of this series in the herbarium, says nothing about its purpose and is not used.
Georeferencing
The point 42.798455, 74.567813 is the one the herbarium's database publishes; it lies 0.5 km from the village of Chon-Aryk (OpenStreetMap node 4951992101), at 1,032 m by SRTM against the label's 1,060 m, and is used. The Russian Wikipedia says that Chon-Aryk belonged to the Alamedin raion and was joined to the city of Frunze, today's Bishkek, in 1984, and that the Alamedin raion was renamed Kant in 1965 and split off again in 1974, so the label's Kant raion of 1969 held the village. Other places called Chon-Aryk lie 46 km and more away and do not fit the raion. The point lies on the city boundary: the village is in Bishkek, the point just across it in Alamüdün District of the Chüy Region, so the province field is left empty. Basis: holder's georeference. Uncertainty: about 2 km.
Editorial treatment
Collectors. The collector field takes Frolova, the first name on the label and the catalogue's collector, without an initial; the label gives three more, which the readings do not agree on. None is linked.
Elevation. The label's altitude is 1,060 m, written over a struck 980 m; the infobox takes 1,060 m.
Holder. The label is the Orekhovo-Zuevo Pedagogical Institute's; the sheet is held in Moscow. The page names the institute as the label's issuer and does not link it.
Taxon. The infobox takes the label's Cannabis ruderalis Janisch.
Source discrepancies
- The catalogue files the sheet as Cannabis sativa L.; the label names Cannabis ruderalis Janisch.
