1972 UMS Pakistan P A1 Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Pakistan. It is known from six 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 P A1 and read first seed lot. First generation. The sheets are held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1]
Seed lot
Every label reads P A 1 - Pakistan, first seed lot. First generation.[1] None gives a planting date. The first seed lot itself, P A (UMS-PAK-UNK-0019720001), grew in the garden 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 55 B, 55 C, 55 D and 58 A, 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
On 16 February 1976 Ernest Small determined five of the sheets as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica, the name under which Harvard files all six; Harvard records no determiner for sheet 00449741.[1][4]
