Page scope

Zambatis GZ1054 (2015) is about a single collection of cannabis, a seed lot or a herbarium specimen: where and when it was gathered, by whom, and what the sources say about the plants.

Evidentiary scope

Pretoria's catalogue gives the habitat as Disturbed building site., at Pretoriuskop in the Kruger National Park, at 424 m, on 21 January 2015. The Skukuza Herbarium's two entries for the same gathering give the place as My Acre of Africa, at building site. with the habitat Open woodland. and the vernacular name Dagga. The plant grew on a disturbed building site, outside cultivation. The accession is classified Feral, by inference from the catalogue; the catalogue does not say whether the plants descended from a crop. A single gathering does not establish a continuing population, and no conservation priority is assigned.

The Botanical Database of Southern Africa publishes no image of this sheet. Its image count is zero, and so is the image count of all 1,361,966 rows in the database: the store is empty, and SANBI's own site still lists plant images among its plans. The accession carries no image until the herbarium supplies a scan.

Georeferencing

BODATSA records the coordinate's accuracy as 50m, which marks a field reading. The square code 2531AA is carried alongside it in the database.

Editorial treatment

The Skukuza Herbarium is the one South African herbarium holding these sheets whose catalogue fills in a vernacular name. It gives Dagga. on all four of its Cannabis entries. BODATSA's own vernacular column is empty on every one of its 1,361,966 entries, so the absence of a Zulu or Afrikaans name at Pretoria is a missing field and not a statement about the sheet.

Source discrepancies

Three catalogue entries exist for one gathering: one at Pretoria and two at Skukuza. The two Skukuza entries give slightly different coordinates and different determiners, which suggests two sheets rather than a duplicated entry, but neither carries a catalogue number and this cannot be settled from the catalogues.
