Evidentiary scope
The label places a plant, catalogued as cannabis, in a meadow in the Losan-Go valley, at about 1,700 m, on 31 August 1928. It gives no use or note on cultivation. The accession is classified Other and no conservation priority is assigned.
Label reading
Read from the holder's large image (1876 × 3000 pixels). Printed label: Expeditio centrali-asiatica sub duce D:ris Sven Hedin. / Turkestania sinensis (Prov. Sinkiang): in montibus / Bogdo Ola, / D. Hummel. Handwritten: 908 / in valle Losan-Go, in prato, ca. 1700 m (in the Losan-Go valley, in a meadow, at about 1,700 m) / 31/8 1928.
Georeferencing
No coordinate is asserted. The valley names on Hummel's Bogdo Ola labels (Ozun-ava, Mou-choul-go, Losan-Go) were searched in Wikidata and, within a box over the Bogda Shan, in Nominatim, without result. The ending -go is probably Mongolian gol, river or river valley. The province field takes Xinjiang.
Editorial treatment
Collector. The collector field keeps the label's D. Hummel; the prose links David Hummel (1893–1984), the physician of Hedin's Sino-Swedish Expedition.
Taxon. The label gives no plant name, only the number, and the infobox takes the catalogue's Cannabis L.
Two numbers, two accessions. Hummel gave the plants of 31 August in the Losan-Go valley two field numbers, 908 and 909, so they are two gatherings and two accessions: this page and Hummel 909 (1928).
Elevation. The infobox stores the label's ca. 1700 m.
Source discrepancies
- None. The catalogue's locality, altitude and date match the label.
