Identifier

The accession identifier is TLT-PHL-KAL-0120190001, built from the holder, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-3 country, the province segment, the month, the year and the sequence number.

Holder segment TLT stands for The Landrace Team.
Year 2019 is the earliest year the listing is attested (Common Crawl capture, 17 June 2019). No source gives a collection year, so, as for other vendor accessions without one, the identifier takes the first attested year. It is a lower bound, not a collection date, and moves if an earlier capture or catalogue is found.
Month 01 is the placeholder used when the year comes from first attestation.
Province segment KAL. TLT names Kalinga province, so the province field is Kalinga and the province segment is KAL. TLT names no municipality, village or site.

Sourcing

TLT's listing at https://www.tltseeds.com/kalinga/ was read from Common Crawl captures. The capture of 19 August 2026 is the text used here; captures of 13 April 2024, 13 December 2024 and 6 February 2025 also exist.

Every statement about the line is The Landrace Team's own account of its stock and is attributed to it. No collector, farmer, collection site or collection date is named in the listing, and no independent source for the line's origin was found.

Typing

Classification: Landrace. TLT's listing gives the line's source as "Source: Local Filipino grower", and says that the plants are grown by native farmers in isolated highland places in Kalinga province. That places the source of the seed with a local grower. The accession is classified Landrace, by inference from the seller's account, which names no grower, place or date. The account has not been checked against other sources. Forum posters have questioned the seller's accounts of where some of its lines came from (see The Landrace Team). An earlier version of this note classified the line as Other, on the ground that a vendor listing does not establish the class of the source population.
Sourcing type: Unknown provenance. The listing gives no chain of custody from the source population to the seed on sale.
Accession type is left empty: the listing does not say whether the seed on sale is the original collection or a reproduction of it.
Traits. Flowering times, heights and aromas in the infobox are the vendor's figures.

Figures as written

The listing's specification line gives the height as "2.5 – 3+ metres outdoors" and its prose as "2,50 – 3 metres in its natural environment". The infobox enters the minimum, 2.5 m, and leaves the maximum empty because the listing gives none. TLT's "Regional Maturation" line does not say which region it means.

Georeferencing

No coordinate is asserted. The listing names no collection point, and a point inferred from a named area would describe the area rather than the population.

Conservation priority

Not rated. The listing gives nothing about the size or status of the source population.
