Evidentiary scope

The article rests on the RSC listing for this line and on the Kwik Seeds listing of the same line. Kwik Seeds is the shop RSC calls its other site (RSC, Hemp & Multipurpose). The listings give the region (the dry interior highlands of the south on RSC now; the Betroka highlands on Kwik Seeds and on RSC in April 2026), a latitude of 23° S, the supplier (Tody Seeds) and the year 2025. They name no village or farmer. They establish that RSC lists seed of this population and describes its phenotypes. They do not establish the collection site or the current status of the source population. RSC's comparisons with the northern form do not name the plants or trials they rest on. The conservation priority is High; the basis is below. Éloise 02:50, 17 September 2026 (+07)

Georeferencing

The Kwik Seeds listing, and the RSC listing as archived in April 2026, name the Betroka highlands; RSC gives a latitude of 23° S, which Betroka District matches. The coordinate is the label point of Betroka District in OpenStreetMap (relation 19551924), rounded to two decimal places: −23.41, 45.82. It marks the district that contains Betroka, not a collection site. OpenStreetMap places the district in Anosy, entered as Anosy Region. Éloise 02:50, 17 September 2026 (+07)

Editorial treatment

Accession ID. The Madagascar accessions take the province code from the region the listings name: DIA (Diana Region) for the North line and ANO (Anosy Region) for the South line. The East, Southeast and Southwest listings name no place below a compass region, so those three use UNK, as on RSC-COD-UNK-0119900001. Within UNK the serials follow year and then RSC's listing order: Southwest (2025) is 0001; East and Southeast (2026) are 0001 and 0002. The month digits are 01, as on the other RSC accessions, because the listings give no month.
Name. Dzamal is the name the listings give the line. Neither RSC nor Kwik Seeds glosses it, so no local name is entered.
Collector. Left blank. The listings name Tody Seeds as the source and do not say who collected the seed.
Sourcing type. Point of Origin, because the listings describe seed collected in Madagascar, not seed reproduced elsewhere. The supplier is named in the article.
Phenotype names. maintsoa and sakai or parasy are reported as the listings give them. Neither says which language or community uses them.
Comparisons. The listings say the southern form "stands out" as more resinous, with a stronger pepper-spice profile and a slightly more powerful effect. The article keeps the comparisons as RSC's and links the northern accession where the listing names it.
Vocabulary mapping. "Sativa-type architecture" is entered as growth pattern Christmas tree, the provisional RSC convention discussed on Talk:RSC-LAO-CHA-0120240001. Photoperiod Short-day and introgression Minimal follow the other RSC accessions; neither listing states them. Éloise 23:19, 16 September 2026 (+07)

Conservation priority

High. RSC and Kwik Seeds open the listing "A rare landrace from southern Madagascar", collected in the Betroka highlands. Neither names a farmer or a village. RSC states no conservation priority of its own, so the rating is the wiki's, on the four values it uses for accessions: Critical, High, Medium and Low. Éloise 21:05, 17 September 2026 (+07)

Source discrepancies

Collection area. RSC: "collected in the dry interior highlands of the south". Kwik Seeds: "collected in the Betroka highlands".
Wording. RSC: "The southern form of Dzamal stands out". Kwik Seeds: "The southern form stands out".
Archived version. The Wayback Machine holds one version of the RSC listing, from 21 April 2026. It reads "collected in the Betroka highlands", as Kwik Seeds does, alongside RSC's own "The southern form of Dzamal stands out". The current RSC wording replaced "the Betroka highlands" after that date.

The listings do not explain the difference. The article uses both and attributes each. Éloise 02:50, 17 September 2026 (+07)

Photographs

The infobox image is the only photograph on the RSC listing, uploaded under fair use at reduced resolution. RSC uses the same photograph on its North listing, and neither listing says which form it shows or where it was taken. The caption says so. Éloise 02:50, 17 September 2026 (+07)
