Identifier

The accession identifier is RFM-COL-UNK-0120090001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.

Holder segment RFM stands for Reeferman Seeds.
Year 2009 is the year of the earliest dated mention of the line that was found: the breeder's own post on the growers' forum THCFarmer of 22 March 2009 (https://www.thcfarmer.com/threads/colombian-red-point.2041/post-116950). No source gives a collection year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and moves if an earlier record is found.
Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from a first dated mention rather than a stated collection date.
Province segment UNK. The post names Colombia and no place within it. "Santa Marta" is part of the line's name, not a statement of where the seed was gathered.
Sequence 0001. It is the only accession of the business for this country, province segment and year.

Sourcing

The only source is the breeder's own forum post, made under his trade name. The business's sales page for the line was not found. Every statement about the line is the breeder's own account of his stock and is attributed to him.

The post also claims that his best Colombian stock came from an Indian tribe, without saying which line it means, and accuses other breeders of using seed he had shared. The article repeats neither. Other sellers offer lines under the same name; no source connects them with this one.

Typing

Classification: Unknown. The breeder's description of his stock is his own claim and is attributed in the article; a seller's post does not establish the class of the source population. Nothing in the post shows what kind of population the seed came from.
Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. The post gives no chain of custody from a source population to the seed on sale.
Accession type is left empty: the post does not say whether the seed on sale is an original collection or a reproduction. The post says he sent the line back to Colombia "in pure and hybridize form", and does not say which form he sold.

Georeferencing

No point is given. The post names Colombia and no place within it; the "Santa Marta" of the line's name is not a collection place, so there is no place below the country to put a point on.
