Lataguri is a small town in Jalpaiguri District, West Bengal, India, in the Jalpaiguri Dooars growing area of The Dooars. Two accessions carry it as their locality: a feral selection collected nearby in 2025, filed under the Dalingkot Duar appellation, and a commercial seed line sold under the name Jalpaiguri.

Geography and history

In 2011 Lataguri was a census town in Mal block, with 4,981 people in 1,208 households over 3.03 km². Of them, 2,032 belonged to Scheduled Castes and 215 to Scheduled Tribes.[1] In 1911 a short branch of the Bengal-Duars Railway ran from Lataguri, then spelled Latiguri, to Ramshai Hat.[2]: 114

The Zomia Collective accession is a feral selection collected on 12 July 2025 and stored at 91 m, about 1 km north of the town; its vernacular name is recorded as ganja.

The seed company Landrace Mafia sells a line called Jalpaiguri, by its account a landrace from Lataguri, with a flowering time of 14 to 16 weeks and a farming season of August to March.[3]
