1971 UMS Thailand Ti D1 Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Thailand. It is known from one herbarium sheet that M. W. Quimby gathered on 14 October 1971 at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Mississippi, whose label reads Code Ti D1 and Seed source: Thailand. The sheet is held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1]
Seed lot
The label reads Code Ti D1; Seed source: Thailand.[1] The same code appears in 1972 on three sheets from the university's garden, whose labels call Ti D1 the first generation of the fourth Thai seed lot (UMS-THA-UNK-0019720003). Quimby had grown Thai seed in 1969 and 1970 under the codes MS-SL (UMS-THA-UNK-0019690001) and MS-SM and MS-SO (UMS-THA-UNK-0019700001).
Grow-out
The plants grew on university land at University, in Lafayette County, Mississippi, under cultivation in silt-like soil (loess).[1] In 1968 the National Institute of Mental Health offered a contract for the supply of standardised marijuana to researchers, and Norman Doorenbos, who chaired the university's Department of Pharmacognosy, won it. The university's own account of the programme says that the first experimental plot, grown that year, was sown with seed from Mexico, Panama, Southeast Asia, Korea, India, Afghanistan, Iran, Pakistan and Lebanon, and that a secured garden was built in 1969 for the first substantial crop.[2]
Specimens and identification
The sheet came to Harvard from the herbarium of the Department of Pharmacognosy of the University of Mississippi School of Pharmacy. The original label name is Cannabis sativa Linnaeus. On 16 February 1976 Ernest Small determined it as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica, the name under which Harvard files it.[1]
