Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 27960 (Inventory No. 23 (1911), p. 51) and the entry for PI 27960 in GRIN-Global, the database of the National Plant Germplasm System, as it stood on 27 October 2026. The inventory names the prefecture the seed came from, the nursery it was bought from, and the size of the plants as reported. 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-JPN-GUN-0019100001 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 27960.

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.
JPN is the ISO code for Japan.
GUN stands for Gunma Prefecture.
Month 00: the date the seed was gathered is not known.
Year 1910 is the year the department received the lot.
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 inventory gives the seed as a large variety of hemp from Gumma (Gunma) Prefecture, which places it in the prefecture's hemp crop, so the accession is classified Landrace. Neither source names a village or a grower.

Collectors and donors

GRIN-Global lists the Yokohama Nursery Company Limited among its sources; the printed inventory says the seed was purchased from the company. No one is said to have gathered it, so the infobox gives no collector.

Location and georeferencing

The inventory names Gumma, today's Gunma Prefecture, as the place the seed came from; the prefecture is the finest place named. Province-level points are not yet in use, so the page has no point and the map is off.

Dates

The date the seed was gathered is not known, so the collection date is empty. Both sources give 21 May 1910 as the date of receipt, the lot's received date. The identifier therefore carries month 00 and the year of receipt.
