Evidentiary scope
The catalogue gives a collector, a number, a date and a locality. It is a single gathering and shows neither a continuing population nor a living germplasm holding, so it supports neither a landrace nor a feral classification. The accession is classified Other. No conservation priority is assigned.
The Botanical Database of Southern Africa publishes no image of this sheet. Its image count is zero, and so is the image count of all 1,361,966 rows in the database: the store is empty, and SANBI's own site still lists plant images among its plans. The accession carries no image until the herbarium supplies a scan.
Georeferencing
The coordinate is the centre of a quarter-degree square, not a field fix. BODATSA records the accuracy as 1/4dg and stores the square's code alongside it; a quarter-degree square is about 27 km across. Of the 61 georeferenced Cannabis rows in BODATSA, all 41 flagged 1/4dg fall exactly on a square's centre and none of the other 20 does. On Éloïse's ruling of 23 September 2026 the point is carried, at the precision the database gives it, with the accuracy stated here. BODATSA's LatLongChecked field is null on every Cannabis row, so no coordinate in this batch has been verified by the herbarium.
The square is 2930DD.
Editorial treatment
The KwaZulu-Natal Herbarium publishes no per-specimen page. Five permalink shapes were tried for a sheet of this batch and all answered 404, so the accession cites the database itself and the barcode identifies the sheet.
The label carries the quarter-degree code 2930 DD, which is the square BODATSA stores for the entry.
Source discrepancies
The Naturalis card gives the collector's initials as R.C. Strey where both South African catalogues give Strey, R.G.. Rudolf Georg Strey is the botanist the initials R.G. denote, and the card appears to have a typing slip, but the accession carries the form the two South African catalogues share and records the card's here.
The label's word ruderal is an assessment of the plant's standing, not a habitat field, and neither South African catalogue keeps it.
