Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 20057 (Inventory No. 13 (1908), pp. 59, 64) and the entry for PI 20057 in GRIN-Global, the database of the National Plant Germplasm System, as it stood on 27 October 2026. The inventory gives the collector, his number, the date, the place, a Chinese name and a cross-reference. 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.
