Soolungko General Population 1908 is a historical seed accession of Cannabis sativa that the United States Department of Agriculture received from Soolungko, in the Kwohsien district of Shanxi, China, on 6 July 1908 and numbered plant introduction (PI) 23298.[1] No seed of the lot survives. The National Plant Germplasm System, whose database carries the department's introductions, says the accession "no longer exists and can not be requested".[1]

The lot

Frank N. Meyer, the department's agricultural explorer, brought this seed with others to the Plant Introduction Garden at Chico, California, in June 1908; it was forwarded to Washington and received on 6 July 1908. In the printed inventory it is his number 931a, from Soolungko, Kwohsien district, Shansi, 3 March 1908: "Found growing in mountain valleys and considered a good hemp. Chinese name Shan ma tse."[2] His number 932a, taken the next day in the same district, is the same kind (NPG-CHN-SHX-0319080001).[3]
