Simonneau s.n., Igli is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa credited to P. Simonneau and dated 29 October 1960. Its locality reads Périmètre d'irrigations d'Igli (Sahara oranais), which places the plant inside an irrigation scheme at Igli on the Oued Saoura, in south-western Algeria.

Collection and locality

The locality is transcribed as Périmètre d'irrigations d'Igli (Sahara oranais) and the date as a full day, 29 October 1960. No habitat, altitude or collection number is carried. A périmètre d'irrigation is a defined irrigated area, so the wording places the plant on watered ground without saying whether it was sown there.

Sahara oranais was the French administrative name for the Saharan territory governed from Oran. Igli lies on the Oued Saoura and is now in Béni Abbès Province.
