The catalogue leaves the collector, collector's number, donor number 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 145.1910 places the sample's arrival at Kew in 1910.[2] The same entry number and donor are recorded for four more samples from Japan: EBC 43423 and EBC 43437, catalogued as Hemp, and EBC 43440 and EBC 43462, catalogued as Hemp fibre.[3][4][5][6] Entry 146.1910, from the same donor, is a sample of hemp fibre from Korea, EBC 43439 (by 1910).[7] Kew also publishes the entry to GBIF, with the locality Japan.[8]
