Evidentiary scope

The accession rests on two sources: the department's printed inventory entry for plant introduction 9665 (Inventory No. 10 (1905), p. 299) and the entry for PI 9665 in GRIN-Global, the database of the National Plant Germplasm System, as it stood on 27 October 2026. The inventory names the nursery, its address in Yokohama and the name of the sort, 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-0019030001 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 9665.

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 1903 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 from a nursery company under the name Aizu. Neither source says where this seed was grown or by whom, so the accession is classified Unknown.

Collectors and donors

GRIN-Global lists the Yokohama Nursery Company Limited among its sources; the printed inventory says the seed was received through the company. 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 nursery's address, and a point there would place the lot at a business address. The page has no point and the map is off. No province is entered: GRIN-Global's Kanagawa is the prefecture of the nursery, not of a growing place.

Dates

The date the seed was gathered is not known, so the collection date is empty. Both sources give 20 May 1903 as the date of receipt, the lot's received date. The identifier therefore carries month 00 and the year of receipt, and the province segment UNK.
