Identifier
The accession identifier is NPG-NPL-GAN-0020260005, 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, 2026, 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 34118.
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 names no collector for this donation, and the infobox leaves the field empty. The entry carries trial measurements from field trials in the United States. The article does not report them: they describe plants grown in those trials, not the population where the seed was gathered.
Place
The passport gives Gandaki, Nepal. The seed was bought in a bazaar, so the sourcing type reads "Unknown provenance".
Other accessions
The other batches are #1 (NPG-NPL-GAN-0020260002), #2 (NPG-NPL-GAN-0020260003), #3 (NPG-NPL-GAN-0020260004). The note likens all four to the 2023 donation's Pokhara lot, NPG-NPL-UNK-0020230003, also bought in a bazaar. The wiki's Nepali Highland lots of The Real Seed Company are other collections, and the entry does not tie these batches to them.
Georeferencing
No point is given. The seed was bought at a bazaar in Manakamana, which is not the place the plants grew, and the note says the donor did not learn where the sellers' seed came from.
