Identifier

The accession identifier is EAG-KEN-UNK-0120230001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.

Holder segment EAG stands for East Africa Genes.
Year 2023 is the year of the first dated document that lists the line: the seller's Overgrow advert of 12 December 2023, the earliest dated document naming the line (it is not in any archived capture of the catalogue, the last of which is of 4 June 2023). 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 no town, county or other unit, only "Central Kenya", which is not a current administrative unit, so the province field is empty and the segment is UNK.
Sequence 0001. The only Kenyan line without a county in 2023.

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 on the current page but not in any capture. The seller's Overgrow advert of 12 December 2023 (https://overgrow.com/t/fruity-tasting-landrace-sativa-from-central-kenya/131801/1) carries the same description and was read from a saved copy.

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

No point is given. The seller describes the town (agricultural, 4,120 feet above sea level, 90 km north of Nairobi) but does not name it, and the article does not identify it from that description.

Conservation priority

Not rated. The sources give nothing about the size or status of the source population.
