Kwanhsien General Population 1911 is a historical seed accession of Cannabis sativa that the United States Department of Agriculture received from the mountains west of Kwanhsien (today's Dujiangyan), in Sichuan, China, on 8 February 1911 and numbered plant introduction (PI) 29524.[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
E. H. Wilson, of the Arnold Arboretum, presented two hemps from western China that the department received on 8 February 1911. Of this one, Man ma, his note in the printed inventory says it "is cultivated as an autumn crop in the mountains west of Kwanhsien, between 3,000 and 5,000 feet", and that its fibre seemed to be used "only locally by the peasants".[2] The other is Hoa ma, from the Chengtu Plain (NPG-CHN-SIC-0019110001).
