Evidentiary scope

The catalogue's transcription places a cannabis plant in Japan, Japonia, with no date and no place within the country. The label itself has not been seen. It gives no habitat and no note on cultivation, so the accession is classified Other; no conservation priority is assigned.

Label reading

Not read: the holder publishes no image of the sheet. The page reports the catalogue's fields as the Naturalis Biodiversity Center gives them (read 12 October 2026): unit L 0420302; collector Textor, CJ; number s.n.; country Japan; locality Japonia.; basis Herbarium sheet; determination Cannabis sativa L. var. angustifolia; no date, province or coordinates.

Georeferencing

No point is given. The catalogue names only Japan (Japonia.), and gives no place within it.

Editorial treatment

Catalogue only. The accession is made from the holder's catalogue alone, with no image; every fact on the page is the catalogue's, and the label may hold more than the catalogue transcribes.

Title. The catalogue gives no number and no date. Wikidata gives Carl Julius Textor, a Dutch botanist, the years 1816 to 1869, so a gathering of his is no later than 1869, the limit the title gives. The Harvard Index of Botanists is less certain: it has a C. J. Textor who collected in Japan from about 1856, a C. M. Textor who collected there from 1842, and an entry that leaves the initials as C. J. or C. M. The title rests on the catalogue's initials and Wikidata's dates.

Collector. The collector field takes C. J. Textor, the catalogue's Textor, CJ in initials form. The name is not linked: no encyclopedia article on him was found, and the sources disagree on who he was.

Taxon. The scientific name field gives the Naturalis determination.

Source discrepancies

Naturalis determines the sheet as Cannabis sativa L. var. angustifolia; GBIF gives Cannabis sativa L. alone. The scientific name field follows the holder.
