Evidentiary scope

The catalogue places a cannabis plant at Tokyo on 1 September 1910. The label itself has not been seen. The catalogue gives no habitat and no note on cultivation, so the accession is classified Other; no conservation priority is assigned.

Label reading

Not read: the holder publishes no image of the sheet. The page reports the catalogue's fields as GBIF publishes them (read 12 October 2026): catalogue number 8252; collector (n/a); number s. n.; date 1910-09-01; country Chinese Taipei; county JAPAN; locality TOKYO; name Cannabis sativa L..

Georeferencing

The point 35.68, 139.76 is the centre of Tokyo as OpenStreetMap maps it (node 265018692, place=city), in Chiyoda ward. In 1910 Tokyo named the city of Tokyo, made up of fifteen wards from 1889 until 1932, and also the prefecture around it; the city is the usual sense and is taken here, and the prefecture cannot be excluded. The point stands for the old city as an area, not the place the plant was grown. No source read gives the old city's area. The five present-day central wards (Chiyoda, Chūō, Minato, Bunkyō and Taitō) reach 3.4, 4.1, 6.5, 6.8 and 7.0 km from the point; the old city's wards also took in ground in neighbouring present-day wards, and the uncertainty allows for that. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 9 km.

Editorial treatment

Catalogue only. The accession is made from the holder's catalogue alone, with no image; every fact on the page is the catalogue's, and the label may hold more than the catalogue transcribes.

Country. GBIF files the occurrence under the holder's country, Chinese Taipei, with JAPAN in its county column and TOKYO as the locality. The page follows the locality: the plant was gathered at Tokyo, Japan.

Place. The province field takes Tokyo, which contains the old city on either reading of the name. No municipality is entered, because the old city is split among several present-day wards.

Source discrepancies

GBIF gives the country as Chinese Taipei; its county and locality columns give Japan and Tokyo. The page follows the locality.
