Khanaka General Population 1910 is a historical seed accession of Cannabis sativa that the United States Department of Agriculture received from the oasis of Sandju, in Xinjiang, China, on 11 September 1911 and numbered plant introduction (PI) 31816.[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, sent a consignment from Chinese Turkestan received on 11 September 1911. In the printed inventory this lot is his number 1511a, from Khanaka, in the oasis of Sandju, 4 December 1910: "A small-seeded variety of hemp called Kandivi." Meyer writes that oil pressed from the seed was used for cooking and lamps, that the fibre went only into some inferior rope, and that hashish was made from the young tops.[2]
