Evidentiary scope
The labels give the place, the altitude, the date and the plant's height. They name no habitat, use or note on cultivation. The accession is classified Other and no conservation priority is assigned.
Label reading
Read twice, independently, from the Chinese Virtual Herbarium's image of the sheet (PE 00557979, 1,050 × 1,440 pixels).
- Field form (printed LABORATORY OF BOTANY / NATIONAL ACADEMY OF PEIPING / FLORA OF CHINA, typed): Field No. Hao 827 / Date 3/8/1930 / Locality Shangwuchuang, Sining, Kokonor / Altitude 2900 m. / Height 2 ft. / Collector K.S.Hao.
- Herbarium label (HERBARIUM ACADEMIÆ NATIONALIS PEKINENSIS / FLORA CHINENSIS, typed): Cannabis sativa L. / Kokonor: Sining, Shangwuchuang Aug. 3, 1930 / Leg. K.S.Hao (827) Det. K.S.Hao.
- Tag in pencil: 827. KOKONOR province stamp; Hg Cl2; stamped number 421654.
The two readings agree.
- Yangling sheet (WUK0001282), read twice, independently, from the Chinese Virtual Herbarium's image (WUK0001282, 990 × 1,440 pixels). Typed form of the Laboratory of Botany, National Academy of Peiping (FLORA OF CHINA): Field No. Hao 827 / Date 3/8/1930 / Locality Shangwuchuang, Sining, Kokonor / Altitude 2900 m. / Height 2 ft. / Collector K.S.Hao. Label of the Herbarium Academiae Nationalis Pekinensis: Cannabis sativa L. / Kokonor: Sining, Shangwuchuang / Aug. 3, 1930 / Leg. K.S.Hao (827) Det. K.S.Hao. Tag: 827 in pencil. Stamps: Hg Cl₂ and the stamped sheet number; 標本已錄 (specimen recorded); the round herbarium stamp of the Chinese Academy of Sciences (中國科學院 植物標本章). The readings agree.
Georeferencing
Shangwuchuang is read as Shangwuzhuang (上五庄), a town of Huangzhong District, Xining: the identification rests on the sound of the name (Wade-Giles chuang is pinyin zhuang) and on the label's Sining and Kokonor, and no source read gives the spelling. The point 36.83, 101.42 is the town's place node in OpenStreetMap (node 3311530585). SRTM gives 2,606 m there against the label's 2,900 m; Wikidata's second point for the town (Q10867183), about 3 km to the north, lies at 2,908 m, so the label's altitude fits the town's higher ground. The point stands for the town, not a spot within it. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 5 km.
Editorial treatment
Collector. The collector field keeps the label's K. S. Hao. He is Hao Kin-shen (郝景盛), born in 1903 or 1904: the Harvard botanist index gives 1904 and Chinese Wikipedia 1903, and they disagree on his death (1965 in the index, 1955 in Wikidata and Chinese Wikipedia). The index lists his collecting in Gansu, Hebei, Henan, Qinghai and Sichuan. The prose links Hao Kin-shen.
Province. Kokonor is the Mongol name for the Qinghai region; Qinghai became a province in 1928, with Xining as its capital. The province field takes Qinghai.
Elevation. The elevation field stores the label's 2,900 m.
Image. The Chinese Virtual Herbarium publishes its images under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, so the page cites each sheet's image and shows none.
Two sheets, one accession. The Beijing and Yangling sheets share the number, the place, the altitude and the date. Sheet WUK0001281, from the same place and day, carries the number 825 on its form and tag and 827 on its herbarium label; it holds female plants where this sheet holds male ones, and is a separate accession, Hao 825 (1930). The Chinese Virtual Herbarium publishes its images under CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, so its sheets are cited here and not shown.
Source discrepancies
- The Chinese Virtual Herbarium lists the Yangling sheet twice, under two record numbers with the same image (WUK0001282 also as record be21c5f8); the page cites the record that carries the sheet's barcode.
