Poilane 26699 bis is a herbarium accession of Cannabis collected near the col des Nuages, 25 to 30 km east of Phong Thổ, in the mountains of northern Vietnam, at 1,200 to 1,400 m by Eugène Poilane. The catalogue dates it 1 December 1937. The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle holds the sheet as P06815131.[1] The label records a plant 3 m tall, cultivated by the Meo.
Collection and locality
The handwritten label is headed Institut des Recherches Agronomiques de l'Indochine, Division de Botanique and numbered Poilane No 26699 bis. It reads ver 12 ou 1400 m alt. (about 1,200 or 1,400 m) and Tonkin: près col des Nuages 25 a 30 Kil. a l'Est de Phong Thô pro: de Laokhay (Tonkin, near the col des Nuages, 25 to 30 km east of Phong Thổ, province of Lao Kay). The date line is blank.[2] A printed museum label reads Indochine : N. du Tonkin. M. Poilane. Reçu le 1er Juin 1938., with dupl: K added in ink: a duplicate went to Kew.[2] The catalogue gives the same locality, the elevation as 1,200 to 1,400 m, and the date as 1 December 1937.[1] Phong Thổ is today in Lai Châu Province.
Cultivation observation
The label describes the plant as Plante de 3 M cultivé par les meo: a plant 3 m tall, cultivated by the Meo.[2] The catalogue keeps the height and leaves out the cultivation.[1] Writing in 1987, David Filbeck noted that the people called Meo had come to be called Hmong, the name they use for themselves.[3]
Specimen and identification
The sheet carries thick, bare lengths of stem and leafy flowering tops, with an empty fragment packet mounted at the upper left. The label names no species; the museum label is pencilled Urticaceae, and the catalogue records the plant as Cannabis L.[2][1]
