Evidentiary scope
The label places cannabis at Sombar near Matun in August 1949. It names no habitat, use or local name, so the accession is classified Other. A single sheet does not establish a landrace or a continuing population. No conservation priority is assigned.
Label reading
No image of the sheet is published: JACQ's image service has none for it, and GBIF lists no media. The label has therefore not been read here. The article quotes Vienna's own transcription of it, the catalogue's Label field, and says so.
Georeferencing
No coordinate is asserted. Sombar was not found in GeoNames, Wikidata, OpenStreetMap or Nominatim under that spelling or the variants Sumbar, Sambar and Sumbur, so the gathering is placed only to the Khost area. Matun is read as Khost: OpenStreetMap carries Matun as an alternative name of the Khost district, and Wikidata names it Khost (Matun) District. The province field takes Khost Province.
Editorial treatment
The locality field keeps the label's Sombar, since no present-day form was found. The collector field takes H.F. Neubauer, the catalogue's form. Hans Franz Neubauer (1911–1989) taught at Kabul from 1948, which fits the date. The scientific name field takes the name the sheet is filed under. The collector's full name in the article is the person Vienna's catalogue links the collector to (Wikidata Q123377806, Hans Franz Neubauer).
The sheet was sampled in 2018 for Christopher J. Grassa's herbarium-genomics project; the catalogue's note reads Leaf tissue removed for DNA for C.F. Grassa 2018. None of the 1,444 public BioSamples of Cannabis sativa whose voucher field names a herbarium sheet (NCBI, read in early October 2026) names this sheet's catalogue number, so no sequence data is listed in the infobox.
