Identifier

The accession identifier is RSC-PAK-KHY-0120220001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.

• Province segment KHY is for Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, as on RSC-PAK-KHY-0120240001.
• Year 2022 is the harvest 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 seven readable versions of RSC's Tirah listing in the Wayback Machine from December 2022 to January 2025; the listing at the same address as it stood on 27 October 2026; and the GRIN-Global entries for G 33766 and G 33891 to G 33897.

Lots at this listing

The listing's address has carried four lots under the title Tirah:

• "The Real Seed Company, collected in Tirah Valley, Hindu Kush, 2018 harvest", September and November 2019 (two versions): RSC-PAK-KHY-0120180002;
• "Landrace Genetics, Tirah Valley, Hindu Kush, 2019 Harvest", September 2020 to July 2022 (six): RSC-PAK-KHY-0120190003;
• "Landrace Genetics, Tirah Valley, Hindu Kush, 2022 Harvest", December 2022 to January 2025 (seven readable versions; an October 2024 capture holds only a holding page): this page;
• "Landrace Genetics, Tirah Valley, Hindu Kush, 2024 Harvest", from May 2025 (six): RSC-PAK-KHY-0120240001.

Typing

• Classification: Landrace, sourcing type Point of Origin, autochtonous Yes: the listing describes an authentic domesticate from the Tirah Valley, of the 2022 harvest.
• Collector. Angus, as on the other accessions whose sourcing line reads "Landrace Genetics".
• Hierarchy. Growing area Tirah, the wiki's page for the valley's growing area. No growing region is entered: "Hindu Kush" in the listing is the seller's name for the mountains and stays in the sourcing quoted above, while the wiki's Hindu Kush growing region takes in only Upper and Lower Chitral on the Pakistani side, and no source places Tirah in a growing region. No district is entered: the wiki's Tirah page spans Khyber and Orakzai districts, and the listing names neither.
• Height and leaf shape are left empty: to June 2024 the listing gave 1 to 4 metres and "broad- to narrow-leafleted", and from September 2024 about 2 metres and "mostly broad-leafleted".
• Seed viability. Viable, from the listing's tested germination "well above the acceptable minimum of 80%".
• Processing. "Charas (sieved resin)" is entered as Dry-sift; the notes keep the listing's "garda".
• Related accessions. The other three lots of the listing.
• Conventions. Photoperiod Short-day and introgression Minimal follow the other RSC accessions; the listing states neither.

Georeferencing

The listing names the Tirah Valley and no village. The point 33.72, 70.95 is the point of the wiki's Tirah page, which describes a growing area of about 1,700 km² in Khyber and Orakzai districts. OpenStreetMap places it in Lower Orakzai Tehsil, Orakzai District (relation 16502874), 3.2 km from the village of Kalaya (node 11267308751), and SRTM gives 2,023 m there. It is an area point for the valley, not the place the seed was gathered, and the uncertainty is the radius of a circle of the growing area's size, as on RSC-PAK-KHY-0120240001. Basis: district point. Uncertainty: about 24 km.

Source discrepancies

• Height. RSC to June 2024: "1 – 4 meters". From September 2024: "Approx. 2 meters".
• Leaflets. RSC to June 2024: "broad- to narrow-leafleted". From September 2024: "mostly broad-leafleted".
• Aroma. From September 2024 the listing adds "gasoline".

USDA genebank accessions

The U.S. National Plant Germplasm System holds Tirah seed as G 33766 (GRIN-Global entry), received on 22 August 2023 in a donation of one packet from Angus, which the donor describes as a charas landrace. The infobox lists it as the same lot as this accession:

• the entry's name is the listing's title, Tirah;
• the listing sold this lot from December 2022 to January 2025, which takes in the donation.

The entry has no narrative to confirm the match, which rests on the name and the dates.

The same donor gave seven further Tirah lots on 25 July 2024, while this lot was on sale: Tirah (6F), (7A), (7E), (7F), (7H), (N) and (T.V.), G 33891 to G 33897. The donor's note on each says that there is some question whether they came from Tirah or from somewhere else in Pakistan, and that they are seeds selected from outstanding individual plants. They are separate accessions of the genebank, from NPG-PAK-UNK-0020240002 to NPG-PAK-UNK-0020240007 and NPG-PAK-KHY-0020240001, and nothing in them ties them to this lot.
