Evidentiary scope
The label records low, much-branched cannabis plants up to a metre tall on a stony river bank in a dry valley east of Tashigang in June 1979, with both sexes collected. It records no use and no local name, and does not say whether the plants were wild, escaped or cultivated. The accession is classified Other: a river bank is not described as a ruderal habitat. The subspecies determination is the collectors'; it is a taxonomic placement and does not by itself establish a drug-type population or a landrace. No conservation priority is assigned.
