1972 UMS Nepal Ne C Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Nepal. It is known from four herbarium sheets gathered between 31 July and 1 August 1972 by Richard Evans Schultes, Timothy Plowman and T. E. Lockwood in the National Institute of Mental Health Cannabis Garden of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. The labels carry the lot code Ne C and call it the third sample of Nepalese seed. The sheets are held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1]
Seed lot
The labels read Code No. Ne C - Nepal, third sample, and three of the four add Planted 5 May 1972.[1] The garden grew the Nepalese second seed lot, Ne B (UMS-NPL-UNK-0019720001), the same season.
Grow-out
The garden lay on university land at University, in Lafayette County, Mississippi. The sheets of this lot carry the plant numbers 67 B, 67 C and 67 D, one letter to a plant.[1] In 1968 the National Institute of Mental Health offered a contract for the supply of standardised marijuana to researchers, and Norman Doorenbos, who chaired the university's Department of Pharmacognosy, won it. The university's own account of the programme says that the first experimental plot, grown that year, was sown with seed from Mexico, Panama, Southeast Asia, Korea, India, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Lebanon, and that a secured garden was built in 1969 for the first substantial crop.[2] Schultes and his co-authors later wrote that their collections and studies in the extensive Mississippi plantation and elsewhere had shown that the characters of growth habit in cannabis seemed to be genetically stable.[3]: 356
Specimens and identification
The original label name is Cannabis sp. On 16 February 1976 Ernest Small determined the four sheets as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica, the name under which Harvard files them.[1]
