Yeshoda 490 (1933) is an accession record for a pressed herbarium specimen of Cannabis sativa collected by Mrs. Kanoth Yeshoda at Hosur, then in Salem District, in 1933. Hosur is now in Krishnagiri District, Tamil Nadu, India.[1] The New York Botanical Garden holds the sheet as catalogue 1414435.[2] GBIF publishes it as occurrence 1929675564.[3]
Collection and locality
Yeshoda's Plants of S. India label records Hosur in Salem District, an altitude of 3,000 feet, collection number 490 and the date 3.6.33.[4] The stated altitude converts to approximately 914 m. Current Tamil Nadu government records place Hosur in Krishnagiri District.[1]
Specimen and identification
The sheet mounts fruiting material and carries the name Cannabis sativa L.[4] In August 1975, Ernest Small determined it as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica (Lam.) E.Small & Cronquist, the name under which GBIF publishes the occurrence.[4][3]
Sequence data
Leaflets from this sheet were sampled for DNA by a herbarium-genomics project coordinated by Christopher J. Grassa of Harvard University, and the sample was sequenced by Marco Todesco at the University of British Columbia. The European Nucleotide Archive made it public as BioSample SAMEA112688675 on 24 February 2025; it gives the voucher as NY:1414435, this sheet, and the tissue as Leaflets removed from original specimen voucher.[5]
The sample belongs to the archive's project DNA sequencing of Cannabis specimens accessioned in herbarium NY, one of a set organised under an umbrella project called Population Dynamics in Cannabaceae.[6] Two whole-genome sequencing runs from it, made on an Illumina NovaSeq 6000, were released on 20 April 2025.[7][8]
