Evidentiary scope
The article rests on the RSC listing for Humla Jungli and on the Kwik Seeds listing of the same line. Kwik Seeds is the shop RSC calls its other site (RSC, Hemp & Multipurpose). The listings describe a collection in October 2021 on the route from Humla toward the Tibetan border, from an unnamed householder who was hand-rubbing wild-growing stands. They name no village. The seed on sale comes from "a new ex-situ maintenance grow", so the accession is a reproduction of the collected population. The account of the route, the stands and the Datura is RSC's. The conservation priority is Medium; the basis is below. Éloise 11:28, 17 September 2026 (+07)
Georeferencing
The listings name Humla and the route toward the Tibetan border above the Karnali River; RSC gives a latitude of 30° N. The coordinate is the label point of Humla District in OpenStreetMap (relation 4586370), rounded to two decimal places: 30.03, 81.83. OpenStreetMap places the point in Namkha Rural Municipality and the district in Karnali Province. It marks the district, not the stands the seed came from. Éloise 11:28, 17 September 2026 (+07)
Editorial treatment
- Accession ID.
RSC-NPL-KAR-1020210001takesKARfrom Karnali Province and the month10from "The original collection was made in October 2021". This is the first RSC accession whose listing gives a collection month. - Name. Humla Jungli Feral Reproduction 2021. It follows the wiki's feral selections (<place> Feral Selection <year>), with "Reproduction" because the seed comes from a maintenance grow.
- Classification.
Feral, for RSC's "Feral Himalayan Landrace", "wild-growing strain" and "uncultivated cannabis plants". Cultivation system typeFeraldescribes the source stands. - Reproduction. Accession type
Reproductionand autochtonousNo, because the seed on sale was grown ex situ. No sourcing type is entered: the listing does not say how many generations have been grown since 2021. - Collector.
Angus, as on the other accessions RSC sourced itself. The householder is not named. - Photoperiod.
Short-dayis stated here ("This is not an auto / day-neutral variety"); it is not the corpus convention. - Vocabulary mapping. "Profuse branching" is entered as
Extensive. "Charas (hand-rubbed resin), seeds" is entered as purposesRecreationandSeedsand processing methodCharas. - Links. Shiva and Parvati are linked as deities. The Datura is not linked, because the listing does not identify the species.
- Conventions. Introgression

Conservation priority
Medium. RSC says uncultivated plants "grow profusely along some stretches" of the route from Humla toward the Tibetan border, so the feral population is locally abundant. The original seed came from one Tibetan householder who was hand-rubbing those stands. RSC states no conservation priority of its own, so the rating is the wiki's, on the four values it uses for accessions: Critical, High, Medium and Low. Éloise 21:05, 17 September 2026 (+07)
Source discrepancies
- Structure. RSC: "Plants retain a very compact structure during vegetative stage". Kwik Seeds lists "long internodes" among the characteristics and does not carry RSC's paragraph on structure, stretch and branching.
- Only on RSC. The paragraphs on vegetative structure, bud density and resin, and on flowering time.
- Wording. Kwik Seeds spells the goddess "Pavati", as the RSC listing did until at least June 2026 (below).
The listings do not explain the differences. The article uses both and attributes each. Éloise 11:28, 17 September 2026 (+07)
Archived versions
The Wayback Machine holds four versions of the RSC listing, from June 2025 to June 2026. All give the current sourcing line, the October 2021 collection and the ex situ maintenance grow. They differ from the current text only in spelling the goddess "Pavati", and they add nothing to the article. No version lists the "long internodes" that Kwik Seeds gives.

Photographs
The infobox image and the gallery are the five photographs on the RSC listing, uploaded under fair use at reduced resolution. The listing gives them no captions. RSC's file names date two to 2021, one to July 2024 and one to 8 September "40 North". The captions say only what each image shows and do not repeat the file names. The face of the person in the field photograph was already masked in the listing. Éloise 11:28, 17 September 2026 (+07)
Collection and reproduction split
This page is the October 2021 collection on the route from Humla toward the Tibetan border, made from an ethnically Tibetan householder's hand-rubbed stands. The seed RSC sells comes from a new ex situ maintenance grow of it and is now 2021 RSC Humla Jungli Feral Reproduction.
What moved: the maintenance grow itself, and the advice on freezing the seed before germination, which is about the seed on sale. What stayed: the geography, the account of the collection, the harvest and the description of the plants.
The vegetative observations RSC gives — eight leaf sets within 15 centimetres, about sixfold stretch in a 5-gallon pot — are from a grow in a pot and so from a grow-out rather than from the mountainside. RSC does not say which seed was grown, so they stay here with the rest of its description of the line, and this note records the ambiguity rather than a page assigning it.
The photographs stay here. They show the collection site and plants on the mountainside, and none is captioned to a grow-out. Éloise 04:02, 18 September 2026 (+07)
