1971 UMS Turkey MS-SHHH Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Turkey. It is known from one herbarium sheet that M. W. Quimby gathered on 24 August 1971 at the University of Mississippi, whose label carries the code MS-SHHH and calls the seed source Turkey. The sheet is held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1]
Seed lot
The label reads Seed source: Turkey. Code MS-SHHH.[1] Quimby also grew Turkish seed under other codes, in 1970 under MS-SDD (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700001), MS-SEE (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700002), MS-SPP (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700003) and MS-SY (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019700004) and in 1971 under MS-SFF (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019710001) and MS-SGG (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019710002). In 1972 the university's garden grew the Turkish original sample T A (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019720001), lots coded T A1, T A2 and T A3, which the labels call its generations, and a third seed lot, T C (UMS-TUR-UNK-0019720002).
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 label name is Cannabis sativa Linnaeus. On 16 February 1976 Ernest Small determined it as Cannabis sativa Linnaeus, the name under which Harvard files it.[1]
