Steinheil s.n., Bône is a herbarium accession of Cannabis sativa credited to Adolphe Steinheil and dated 1834. Its locality is given as Bone, the French colonial name for present-day Annaba in north-eastern Algeria. The Muséum national d’Histoire naturelle in Paris holds the sheet as catalogue P06886057.[1] GBIF publishes it as occurrence 731718635.[2]
Collection and locality
The sheet's label, printed Herb. Mus. Paris., is written in one hand: Bone. at the lower left and M. Ad. Steinheil 1834. at the lower right.[3] The place name carries no circumflex. The label gives no habitat, altitude, collection number or month. The catalogue transcribes the same place and year.[1][2] The date is held as a span from 1 January to 31 December 1834, the form this catalogue uses where only a year is known.[2]
Bône was the French name for the port, which France took in 1832 and which is now called Annaba.[4] Annaba lies in Annaba Province.[5]
Adolphe Steinheil lived from 1810 to 1839, so a gathering of 1834 falls inside his working life.[6]
Specimen and identification
The sheet holds a single leafy stem bearing fruit. A second printed label, HERB. MUS. PARIS. with ALGÉRIE printed at its foot, names the plant Cannabis sativa L. in manuscript.[3] The catalogue records the preparation as a herbarium sheet and the name as Cannabis sativa L., with no infraspecific rank and no determiner named.[1][2] A leaf sample was taken from the sheet in March 2021 for C. J. Grassa at Harvard University, under request 156515.[2]
