Evidentiary scope
The database records the sheet as gathered by M. Hadebe on 26 February 2019 at Port St. John's; along pipeline above the Bulolo River., at 80 m, with the habitat given as Mountain slope. Moderate slope. That describes the lie of the ground. It says nothing about whether the plant was cultivated, grew wild or had escaped, and the catalogue gives no more. The accession is classified Unknown, and no conservation priority is assigned.
The Botanical Database of Southern Africa publishes no image of this sheet. Its image count is zero, and so is the image count of all 1,361,966 rows in the database: the store is empty, and SANBI's own site still lists plant images among its plans. The accession carries no image until the herbarium supplies a scan.
Georeferencing
The point -31.63874, 29.51401 is the one the herbarium database, BODATSA, publishes for this sheet. BODATSA gives its accuracy, 10m, which marks a field reading; the quarter-degree square 3129DA is carried beside it in the database. The town of Port St Johns, which the label names (OpenStreetMap node 207672402), is 3.6 km from the point. Basis: holder's georeference. Uncertainty: about 10 m.
Editorial treatment
The KwaZulu-Natal Herbarium publishes no per-specimen page. Five permalink shapes were tried for a sheet and all answered 404, so the accession cites the database itself and the barcode identifies the sheet.
Although the sheet is at Durban, the gathering is from the Eastern Cape. Four of the Durban herbarium's twenty-five Cannabis sheets are from outside KwaZulu-Natal.
This entry is in SANBI's own front end but not in the feed that reaches GBIF, and was catalogued in February 2025. Its absence from GBIF is publication lag.
