Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 65919 (Inventory No. 86 (1928), p. 13) and the entry for PI 65919 in GRIN-Global, the database of the National Plant Germplasm System, as it stood on 27 October 2026. The inventory gives the explorer's number and date and the station the seed came from, with the station's name for it. GRIN-Global states that the lot "no longer exists and can not be requested", so the page gives the lot as gone. No conservation priority is assigned.

Identifier

The identifier NPG-CHN-HLJ-1119250001 follows the wiki's seed-accession grammar: holder, ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, province segment, month, year, sequence. The department's own number for the lot is PI 65919.

NPG stands for the National Plant Germplasm System of the United States Department of Agriculture, whose database, GRIN-Global, carries the department's plant introductions.
CHN is the ISO code for China.
HLJ stands for Heilongjiang.
Month 11: November, the month the seed was gathered.
Year 1925 is the year the seed was gathered.
0001 is the lot's place, in plant-introduction order, among the holder's lots from the same country, province, month and year.

Classification

The seed came from an agricultural experiment station, which kept it as its "local variety, No. 2". Station seed is classified Other; the station's name for it says the variety was local, but the entry does not say where the station's seed was first taken.

Collectors and donors

GRIN-Global lists Dorsett as collector. The printed entry says the seed came from the Agricultural Experiment Station at Harbin, so the station is its source and the infobox gives no collector; Dorsett's number, 4802, is in the text.

Name

GRIN-Global gives Local Variety No. 2 as a cultivar name; the inventory has it as the station's description, "A local variety, No. 2". No local name is entered.

Location and georeferencing

The inventory names the station at Harbin, which is not located within the city, and nothing finer. The point 45.76, 126.63 is the point OpenStreetMap gives for the city of Harbin (relation 2755608), a locality georeference for the place the source names, not a collection point. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 10 km, the radius of the city's built-up core.

Dates

The collection date, 22 November 1925, is the date of Dorsett's number, the day he had the seed from the station, as both sources give it. The department received the consignment on 8 January 1926, the lot's received date.
