Identifier
The accession identifier is EAG-KEN-MIG-0120200002, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.
- Holder segment
EAGstands for East Africa Genes. - Year 2020 is the year of the first dated document that lists the line: the catalogue capture of 7 August 2020. No source gives a collection year, so the identifier takes the first attested year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and the collection date field is empty.
- Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from first attestation.
- Province segment. The seller names Isibania. The town, spelt Isebania in OpenStreetMap, lies in Migori County, so the province field is Migori and the segment is
MIG. The locality keeps the seller's spelling. - Sequence
0002. Second of the two Migori lines in the order of the August 2020 capture (Migori, then Isibania).
Sourcing
The catalogue page Pure African Strains (https://eastafricagenes.blog/pure-african-strains/) was read as it stood on 8 October 2026 and in twelve archived captures from 7 August 2020 to 4 June 2023 (https://web.archive.org/web/*/eastafricagenes.blog/pure-african-strains/). No capture between June 2023 and the current page could be read. The line is in every capture from 7 August 2020 to 4 June 2023 and is not on the current page. The blog post of 13 August 2020 (https://eastafricagenes.blog/2020/08/13/my-first-time-growing-weed/) gives the seller's account of the seed.
By the seller's own account it got the strain it grew in 2014 through a dealer. Whether the seed sold under this name descends from that grow is not stated. No collector, farmer, collection site or collection date is named.
Typing
- Classification: Other. East Africa Genes' description of its lines as landrace sativas is its own claim and is attributed in the article; a seller's listing does not establish the class of the source population.
- Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. No source gives a chain of custody from a growing population to the seed on sale.
- Accession type is left empty: the sources do not say whether the seed on sale was gathered from growers or reproduced from earlier seed.
- Traits. The flavours and effects in the article are the seller's words. The catalogue's "Vegetation & Flowering" figure counts vegetative growth and flowering together, so it is reported in the article and not entered as a flowering time.
Georeferencing
The point -1.24, 34.48 is the town of Isebania, OpenStreetMap node 1401393601 (place=town), in Isebania ward, Kuria West, Migori County, which is the seller's "Isibania"; a Nominatim search for that spelling finds only a hospital and an immigration office in the town. The town lies 0.6 km from the border with Tanzania, which fits the catalogue's "border town". The point reverse-geocodes to Isebania ward, Kuria West, Migori, Kenya. Mapped buildings run on past the ward and towards the border, so the extent is taken from the ward, which holds the town on the Kenyan side and reaches 2.4 km from the point. It places the line at the town, not at a farm. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 4 km.
Conservation priority
Not rated. The sources give nothing about the size or status of the source population.
