Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 6194 (Inventory No. 10 (1905), p. 67) and the entry for PI 6194 in GRIN-Global, the database of the National Plant Germplasm System, as it stood on 27 October 2026. The inventory names the port the seed came from and the firm it came through, and nothing more. 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-UNK-0019010001 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 6194.

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.
UNK: no province is recorded.
Month 00: the date the seed was gathered is not known.
Year 1901 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 seed came through a trading firm and neither source says where it was grown, so the accession is classified Unknown.

Collectors and donors

GRIN-Global lists L. Boehmer and Company among its sources; the printed inventory says the seed was received through the firm. No one is said to have gathered it, so the infobox gives no collector.

Location and georeferencing

Nothing below the country is named as the place the seed was grown. The one place in the sources, Yokohama, is the port the firm sent the seed from, and a point there would place the lot at a shipping office. The page has no point and the map is off. No province is entered: GRIN-Global's Kanagawa is the prefecture of the port, not of a growing place.

Dates

The date the seed was gathered is not known, so the collection date is empty. The inventory prints the date of receipt as "April 5, 1900". The entries around it were all received in April 1901, and GRIN-Global gives 5 April 1901, which is used as the lot's received date. The identifier therefore carries month 00 and the year of receipt, and the province segment UNK.
