Evidentiary scope

The record fixes a cannabis plant at a named place in a named year. It gives no month, no elevation, no habitat, no local name and no statement of use, its georeference is unconfirmed, and it does not establish whether the plant was cultivated or spontaneous. It records no continuing population and no living germplasm holding, so it supports neither a landrace nor a feral classification. No conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

The catalogue georeferences the locality at -4.95, 15.15, a point that falls in Madimba territory in Kongo Central. The name is not carried by OpenStreetMap, so the coordinate could not be confirmed against an independent gazetteer; it is reproduced here as the holding institution's own georeference, stated to about the arcminute, and not as a verified position.
