Evidentiary scope

The printed field label gives the year 1881 and the locality Sikkim, and leaves the day, the month and the altitude blank. It fixes a cannabis plant in Sikkim in a named year and nothing further: no locality within the state, no habitat and no remark, so nothing shows whether the plant was cultivated, grew wild or had escaped. It gives no local variety name, no preparation and no use. The accession is classified Unknown. The sheet shows no continuing population and no living germplasm holding, and no conservation priority is assigned.

Georeferencing

Sikkim is a state of about 7,000 square kilometres spanning ground from roughly 300 m to over 8,000 m, so the record places the gathering only at state level. No coordinate is asserted.
