Koelz 1665 is an accession record for a gathering of Cannabis sativa collected by Walter Koelz beside a road at Keshapur, in the historical Punjab region of India, in March 1931. The New York Botanical Garden holds material from the gathering on two herbarium sheets, catalogue 1414431 and catalogue 1414433.[1][2] GBIF publishes them as occurrence 1931182892 and occurrence 1930018920.[3][4]
Collection and locality
Koelz's Roerich Museum field label records Keshapur, a roadside habitat, an altitude of about 1,000 feet and the common name Bang, in the Kulu dialect.[5] The altitude converts to approximately 305 m. The label is headed Flora of Punjab, while the specimen databases place Keshapur in Punjab and both GBIF records add Kulu to the locality.[5][3][4]
Field observations
The label describes a three-foot plant with greenish flowers.[5]
Specimen and identification
The two sheets share Koelz's number 1665 and the same month, locality and habitat and are treated here as duplicate material from one gathering.[3][4] In August 1975, Ernest Small determined both as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica (Lam.) E.Small & Cronquist, the name under which GBIF publishes them.[3][4]
Sequence data
Leaflets from both sheets were sampled for DNA by a herbarium-genomics project coordinated by Christopher J. Grassa of Harvard University, and sequenced by Marco Todesco at the University of British Columbia. The European Nucleotide Archive made the samples public on 24 February 2025 as BioSamples SAMEA112688671 (voucher NY:1414431)[6] and SAMEA112688673 (voucher NY:1414433)[7]. Each gives the tissue as Leaflets removed from original specimen voucher.
