I didn't realize that stem rubs were scored or even considered to be a viable method of judging the smell of a plant, especially that far back.here is some really cool info on afgT maple leaf

heres the cool part- i found the female maple leaf records from the hillig study nev mentions here. karl hillig did a study in early 90s which stands to this day most comprhensive landrace reference. all together 157 different landraces meticulously source verified. nev donated both the maple leaf and the mazar he got when smuggled into pakistan.
the study scored stem rub - maple leaf was the only line to earn the "acrid" score. the rest options were vegetative, spicy, sweet citrus, and camphor.(the mazar and a pakistan line were the only to earn camphor)
so this lends some major credence to nevs assertion that maple leaf held skunk traits not found elsewhere

I've been rubbing both sides of the leaves to get the smell. I just did a stem rub of the Super Skunk, I'm sitting next to it and typing this. It smells like skunk spray with a burnt onion and catpiss smell. It's pretty powerful and burns my nose. Very similar to the leaf rubs.
The "roadkill" skunk I have is way stronger smelling and much more like actual road kill skunk than the SS. It's overpowering and burns my whole nasal cavity. Very deep, heavy, skunk smell. Between both of these 2 skunks, my money is on this plant being the real skunk. The SS is skunk spray but it's not heavy RKS smelling.
