Hummel 679 is a herbarium accession of Cannabis collected in the Bogdo Ola (Bogda Shan), the mountains east of Ürümqi in Xinjiang, China, on 1 August 1928 by David Hummel of Sven Hedin's Sino-Swedish Expedition. The label records it on waste ground by the monastery of Fu-Shu-Shi, at about 1,900 m. The Swedish Museum of Natural History holds the sheet as S-GH-4809.[1]
Collection and locality
The printed label of the expedition reads Turkestania sinensis (Prov. Sinkiang): in montibus Bogdo Ola (Chinese Turkestan, province of Sinkiang: in the Bogdo Ola mountains) and D. Hummel. It is completed by hand with the number 679, the date 1/8 1928 and Fu-Shu-Shi, in ruderatis ad monasterium, ca. 1900 m. (on waste ground by the monastery, at about 1,900 m).[2] The catalogue gives the same place, habitat, altitude and date.[1]
Sven Hedin's history of the expedition records that in 1928 the governor of Xinjiang, Yang Zengxin, agreed to let Hummel go to the Bogdo Ola to study its plants and animals, and asked him to take soundings in "the little alpine lake near the temple Fo-shu-ssu".[3] A Daoist temple first named Fushou Si (福寿寺), and called Tiewa Si (铁瓦寺) for its iron roof tiles, was founded west of the lake Tianchi in 1776 and rebuilt in 1881. It was burned in 1933, rebuilt, and destroyed by 1975; the present temple was built on the old site in 2005–2007.[4]
Specimen and identification
The label names the genus only, Cannabis, and the catalogue records the sheet as Cannabis L.[1] The sheet carries a bushy plant with many branches, finely divided leaves and dense flower clusters.[2] Hummel's other cannabis gatherings in the Bogdo Ola that summer are numbers 164, 874, 908, 909; a year earlier he had collected a cultivated plant in southern Mongolia, Hummel 1330 (1927).
