EBC 43435 is an accession of the inner bark of Cannabis sativa, from northern Taiwan. The Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew holds it in its Economic Botany Collection as EBC 43435.[1] It was entered at Kew in 1882 with two more hemp samples from North Formosa, hemp for making bags and thread, given by the British consul at Tamsui, T. Watters.
The catalogue entry
The catalogue gives the artefact name and the parts held as Inner bark of hemp, the plant name as 153.04 CANNABACEAE Cannabis sativa, the use as MATERIALS - Fibres with the user Man, the geography description as North Formosa, the storage as Bottles, boxes etc, the entry book number as 139.1882 and the donor as Watters T. The country is Not defined. The catalogue leaves the collector, collector's number, donor number, donor date and collection date blank.[1]
Kew assigns entry book numbers to each group of specimens at the point of acquisition, in a series that runs each year, so 139.1882 places the sample's arrival at Kew in 1882.[2] The same entry number is given for EBC 43419, Hemp used for making bags (Not clothes), donor Tamsui HM Consul,[3] and for the hemp thread, EBC 43469, donor Watters T, HM Consul.[4] Kew also publishes the entry to GBIF, with the locality North Formosa.[5]
