Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 120499 (Inventory No. 130 (1942), p. 32) and the entry for PI 120499 in GRIN-Global, the database of the National Plant Germplasm System, as it stood on 27 October 2026. The inventory gives the collectors, their field number, the date and the market. GRIN-Global states that the lot "no longer exists and can not be requested", so the page gives the lot as gone. No conservation priority is assigned.

Identifier

The identifier NPG-TUR-SIV-0819360001 follows the wiki's seed-accession grammar: holder, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, province segment, month, year, sequence. The department's own number for the lot is PI 120499.

NPG stands for the National Plant Germplasm System of the United States Department of Agriculture, whose database, GRIN-Global, carries the department's plant introductions.
TUR is the ISO code for Turkey.
SIV stands for Sivas Province.
Month 08: August, the month the seed was gathered.
Year 1936 is the year the seed was gathered.
0001 is the lot's place, in plant-introduction order, among the holder's lots from the same country, province, month and year.

Classification

The seed was bought in a market. Neither source says where the plants that bore it were grown, so the accession is classified Unknown.

Collectors and donors

The inventory heads the consignment "Seeds collected by H. L. Westover and F. L. Wellman, Bureau of Plant Industry", and GRIN-Global lists both men, so both are given as collectors.

Location and georeferencing

The coordinate is Sivas, at the point OpenStreetMap gives for its municipality (relation 6894338), 39.75, 37.01, which falls in the city centre. It marks the market town the source names, not a field. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 9 km, the municipality's extent plus 1 km for the two-decimal form. The province is the one GRIN-Global gives.

Dates

Both sources give 12 January 1937 as the date of receipt, the lot's received date. The collection date is 4 August 1936, as the printed inventory gives it.

Collection date

The printed inventory dates the sample "From the Sivas bazar, August 4" (1936). GRIN-Global gives 2 July 1936, the date the inventory prints for the line above it, the Marash sample (NPG-TUR-KAH-0719360001). The page follows the printed inventory, and the identifier carries month 08.
