Laurent s.n., Butala is an accession record for a pressed herbarium specimen of Cannabis sativa collected at Butala, in what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo and was then the Congo Free State, on 18 November 1903 by M. Laurent. Meise Botanic Garden holds the sheet as catalogue BR0000014662713.[1] GBIF publishes the gathering as preserved specimen occurrence 1839971872.[2] The sheet carries no collector number, so it is titled by collector, locality and year.
Collection and locality
The sheet bears the printed Mission Em. et M. LAURENT label of 1903-1904 and is dated 18 November 1903 in manuscript.[3] It belongs to the Laurent collections of 1903 and 1904, the period stamped on the accompanying Brussels slip of the companion sheet Laurent s.n., Manglié (1903).
Specimen and identification
The sheet is annotated with the symbol for a female plant, so the mounted material is pistillate.[3] The determination Cannabis sativa L. was confirmed on the Brussels slip in January 1945.[3][1]
