Identifier

The accession identifier is RSC-LAO-VIE-0120230001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.

Province segment VIE is for Vientiane Province, which the listing names, as on RSC-LAO-VIE-0120240001.
Year 2023 is the year in the sourcing line. The month digits are 01 because no month is given.
Sequence 0001. It is the only RSC accession for this province segment and year.

Sourcing

The four versions of RSC's Mekong listing in the Wayback Machine from 1 October 2023 to 3 October 2024; the listing at the same address as it stood on 27 October 2026, now titled Mekong #2; and the GRIN-Global entries for G 33880 and G 34112.

Lots at this listing

The listing's address has carried two lots. From October 2023 to October 2024 (four versions) it was titled Mekong and gave the sourcing "The Real Seed Company, Laos, Southeast Asia, 2023": this page. From February 2025 (five versions) it is titled Mekong #2 and gives the 2024 sourcing: RSC-LAO-VIE-0120240001, linked as related. The two descriptions are the same except for one sentence on the plants.

Typing

Classification: Landrace, sourcing type Point of Origin, autochtonous Yes: the listing describes seed obtained from a household that grows the crop each year.
Ethnic group. Lao people, from the listing's "a Lao village household".
Growing region and area. Central Laos from the listing's "Central Laos", and Vientiane for Vientiane Province, as on RSC-LAO-VIE-0120240001.
Collector. Angus, as on the other accessions whose sourcing line reads "The Real Seed Company".
Leaf shape. Narrow, from "narrow-leafleted".
Seasons. The planting and harvest months are the listing's account of the crop in the region.
Conventions. Photoperiod Short-day and introgression Minimal follow the other RSC accessions; the listing states neither.

Georeferencing

No point is given. The listing names Vientiane Province and "a Lao village household" without naming the village. The province covers about 12,600 km² (OpenStreetMap relation 5831667), so the finest place named is a province, which gives no point. The growing area entered, Vientiane, is drawn on the whole of Vientiane Province, so it names no smaller place.

USDA genebank accession

The U.S. National Plant Germplasm System holds Mekong seed as G 33880 (GRIN-Global entry), received on 25 July 2024 in a donation from Angus. The infobox lists it as the same lot as this accession:

the entry's name is the listing's title of the time, Mekong;
the listing sold only this lot under that title, from October 2023 to October 2024, which takes in the donation.

The entry carries no narrative beyond the donor's description of a ganja landrace. The donor's note on G 34112, the 2024 lot, asks that the two be treated as "totally distinct".
