Identifier
The accession identifier is NPG-IND-UNK-0020240002, built to the grammar in the project's naming reference: holder NPG (the U.S. National Plant Germplasm System), ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, province segment, month and year of collection, sequence. The entry gives no collection date, so the date segment is month 00 and the year the genebank received the seed, 2024, and the descriptive name carries no year. The sequence counts this holder's accessions with the same country, province and date. The genebank's own number is G 33871.
Sourcing
Everything on this page comes from the GRIN-Global entry, as it stood on 27 October 2026: the passport data, the source history and the donor's narrative. The narrative is the donor's own account of the seed, edited lightly by the curator. The entry's source history repeats a line saying that Angus collected the seed on every accession of the July 2024 donation, and its collector field names Angus on all of them; the narrative names no collector, so the infobox leaves the field empty.
Classification
The infobox gives the classification as feral, from the donor's note. The passport's improvement status is landrace.
Place
The passport gives only India as the origin and the note names Hoshiarpur, so the infobox gives no province.
Georeferencing
The point 31.53, 75.92 is the city of Hoshiarpur, the seat of Hoshiarpur District, Punjab (Wikidata Q928349, a city). The OpenStreetMap search for the name returned nothing under its English spelling, so the Wikidata point is used. The note places the plants by roads in the foothills immediately north of the city, so the point is the city and the uncertainty is widened to take in the hills to its north. It is not the place the seed was gathered. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 15 km.
