Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 35633 (Inventory No. 35 (1915), pp. 59, 61) and the entry for PI 35633 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 city, a Chinese name and the crop's district. 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-SHD-0419130001 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 35633.

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.
SHD stands for Shandong.
Month 04: April, the month the seed was gathered.
Year 1913 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

Meyer's note says the variety is cultivated around the city he names, so the accession is classified Landrace.

Collectors and donors

The inventory heads the consignment "Collected by Mr. Frank N. Meyer", and GRIN-Global lists him as collector, so he is given as collector.

Name

The note gives the Chinese name as San ma, unglossed; GRIN-Global has the same. It is entered as the local name.

Location and georeferencing

The inventory names Tsinan, today's Jinan, and nothing finer. The point 36.65, 117.11 is the point OpenStreetMap gives for the city of Jinan (relation 3486449), a locality georeference for the place the source names, not a collection point. Basis: settlement point. Uncertainty: about 8 km, the radius of the city's built-up core.

Dates

The collection date, 9 April 1913, is the date of Meyer's number as both sources give it. The department received the consignment on 14 June 1913, the lot's received date.
