1970 UMS Vietnam Code V Reproduction is a reproduction accession of Cannabis sativa grown from seed recorded as coming from Vietnam. It is known from two herbarium sheets that M. W. Quimby gathered on 19 October 1970 at the School of Pharmacy of the University of Mississippi, whose labels read Code V and Seed source: Vietnam. The sheets are held in the Economic Botany Herbarium of the Harvard University Herbaria.[1][2]
Seed lot
The two labels read Code V and Seed source: Vietnam.[1][2] In 1972 the university's garden grew two Vietnamese lots, V A1 (UMS-VNM-UNK-0019720001) and V B (UMS-VNM-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.[3]
Specimens and identification
Both sheets 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 both sheets as Cannabis sativa subsp. indica, the name under which Harvard files them.[1]
