Coordinate approximation
RSC gives a regional latitude anchor of 15° N but no precise collection point. Coordinates entered as 14.8800° N, 105.8700° E, approximating the centre of Champasak District. Éloise 14:10, 17 April 2026 (+07)
Growth pattern inferred from "Sativa architecture"
RSC describes the plants as having "Sativa architecture" without specifying growth habit in controlled-vocabulary terms. Mapped to "Christmas tree" as a working inference consistent with narrow-leafleted tropical Sativa morphology. This mapping remains a provisional convention across RSC accessions and has not been directly confirmed. Éloise 14:10, 17 April 2026 (+07)
Conservation priority: High (rationale)
The accession page records the priority as "High" without spelling out the reasoning. The basis for this is two compounding pressures on Lao landrace cannabis populations, namely enforcement intensification following the China-Laos Railway (December 2021) and the collapse in demand for Lao ganja following the 2022 legalization in Thailand. RSC itself does not assign a conservation status. Éloise 14:10, 17 April 2026 (+07)
Source attribution: "Thai Stick" framing
The RSC listing's "Thai Stick" reference is editorial positioning, not a documented genealogical claim tying this Champasak population to the 1960s–1970s Thai export trade. Captured in the Notes section with appropriate distance. Éloise 14:10, 17 April 2026 (+07)
Source attribution: indoor documentation
The "pre-flowering at four weeks under 11/13 light cycle" detail comes from a customer photo caption on the RSC listing, not RSC's direct documentation. Included in Botanical Characteristics with attribution framing ("customer photograph referenced by RSC"). Éloise 14:10, 17 April 2026 (+07)
