Anon. s.n., Tokyo is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa cultivated at Tokyo, Japan, from the herbarium of the Yokohama Nursery Company, dated August 1908 and labelled with the Japanese name asa. The sheet names no collector. The Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh holds it as E01459324.[1]
Collection and locality
The label is a printed form headed Herb. The Yokohama Nursery Co., Ltd. Yokohama, Japan., with lines for a number, the plant's name, its Japanese name, the locality and the date. On this sheet it is completed by hand Cannabis sativa L., Asa., Tokyo. cult. (Tokyo, cultivated) and Aug. 1908; the number is left blank.[2] The heading names the nursery's herbarium and its address in Yokohama, not the place the plant was gathered. The garden's catalogue gives the name and Japan, with no date, place or collector.[1] In 1908 Tokyo was a city of fifteen wards and also the name of the prefecture around it. A sheet from the same herbarium dated September 1907 gives no place: Anon. s.n. (1907).
Specimen and identification
The sheet carries one stem with a few large palmate leaves of broad leaflets.[2] The name Cannabis sativa L. is written on the label without a determiner's name; the catalogue files the sheet under the same name.[1]
