Narrative
Donation on 20230822 contained 1 seed packet.

Donor narrative: Collected by Angus Pretty November 2021 in Karnali Province, Nepal. Type: Multipurpose Himalayan Landrace. Purpose: Seed (culinary); fibre (textiles, cordage); drug (medicinal / intoxicating) – primarily hand-rubbed Himalayan charas. Narrative: A multipurpose Himalayan landrace cultivated for three main purposes: food, fibre, and drugs. Multipurpose landraces of this alpine type are found from Kathmandu to the eastern edge of Kashmir, particularly in regions such as Jumla and Kumaon, where a group closely associated with their cultivation is the Khas (aka, Pahari / Pahadi). I presume this is a pristine landrace, as to the best of my knowledge no modern hybrids have been introduced to Lower Dolpo. In addition, the region is remote and isolated, even by the standards of Mid-West Nepal. At its native latitude, this landrace takes about five months from sowing to harvest. Cannabis seeds are a crucial source of protein and fats in the Himalayan diet. A variety of dishes are prepared from them including condiments and beverages. Fibre was historically used to produce garments by communities such as the Khas – who are one of the main ethnic groups with a tradition of cultivating alpine cannabis landraces. To wear ‘hemp clothes’ was once a mark of their low social status. Shoes were made using cannabis fibre. Cordage continues to be used in some villages for essential tasks such as tethering livestock. Landraces from other ethnic Khas communities such as around Almora (Kumaoni) can show comparable mass and quality of bast fibre to European and Chinese hemp landraces. A third and highly valuable product of alpine Himalayan landraces is charas (resin), which is produced by hand-rubbing the inflorescences of standing or freshly cut plant females. This harvest usually peaks from mid-October to early November, depending on the local climate, time of sowing (May to July), and pressure from law enforcement. Charas is consumed by smoking with tobacco, either by refilling cigarettes and bidis with a blend of tobacco and charas, or in handheld chillum pipes or standing water pipes (hookahs / narghils). Because of the small scale of household cultivation and the low yield per hectare, most Himalayan charas from villages with a tradition of cultivation is consumed locally. Larger leaves may be eaten as greens (‘sabzi’).” [Donor describes this accession as a Himalayan multipurpose landrace, see:] REMARKS

Accession was (or attempted to be) included in the 2024 USDA-ARS Hemp Germplasm Laboratory and HudsonAlpha genome sequencing and phenotyping trial in PGRU Wellington Zone 01 [curator notes 2024:] Very late flowering. Low septoria in very preliminary screening of several plants in 2024. Among the tallest accession evaluated in 2024 NY trials when evaluated at 100 days after sowing. Very large MCD.
