Evidentiary scope
The catalogue records the plant as Cultivada (cultivated) at a named place, in 1914: a crop at a named settlement. Drug-type cannabis from different regions began to be cross-bred, and its seed carried into old growing areas, in the 1970s (McPartland and Small 2020, pp. 84–85), so a hybrid origin is not considered for a sheet gathered in 1914. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the catalogue's transcription of the label. The sheet does not show what became of the crop or whether its seed survives, and no conservation priority is assigned.
Georeferencing
The point -9.30, 14.91 is the town of N'dalatando, OpenStreetMap node 669059480, formerly Vila Salazar (English Wikipedia, N'dalatando), the seat of Cazengo municipality. The catalogue names Camundai, Vila Salazar; Camundai was not found in OpenStreetMap, Nominatim or Wikidata (also tried: Kamundai), and is taken as a place at or near the town. The point places the gathering at the town. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 6 km.
Editorial treatment
Collector. English Wikipedia has Johannes (John) Gossweiler (1873–1952), state botanist to the government of Angola from 1899, who collected in every district of the country; the catalogue's Gossweiler, J. fits him, and the page gives the catalogue's form.
Place. The page takes the catalogue's words for the place; the label itself has not been read.
Holder and image. As for Almeida s.n., Malanje (1903): GBIF's institution name, no image, CC BY-NC 4.0 catalogue data cited and not copied.
