Wallich 4665D is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa from lot D of entry 4665 in Nathaniel Wallich's numbered list of the East India Company's herbarium, a lot from Hb. Madr, the Madras herbarium.[1] The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew holds it as K001039637, on a sheet it shares with lot E.[2]
The Wallich lot
Entry 4665 of the list, Cannabis sativa, is printed on page 166 and divides into lots lettered A to F, most of them identified by the herbarium or garden that supplied the material; lots G and H were added on page 215.[1] Lot D reads indica Hb. Madr, the plant listed under the name Cannabis indica and supplied by the Madras herbarium. The Wallich Catalogue Online gives it no place, date or collector.[1]
Specimen and identification
Kew has mounted lots D and E on one sheet, boxed a = 4665.E and b = 4665.D, with a pencilled 4665. a Hb. Wight. b Hb.
