Cannabis sativa subsp. indica L.[1]
Cannabis sativa subsp. sativa Lam.[1]
Cannabis ruderalis Janisch. The plant name cannabis is from Greek ????aß?? (kánnabis), via Latin cannabis, a Scythian or Thracian word, also loaned into Persian as kanab. English hemp (Old English hænep) may be an early loan (predating Grimm's Law) from the same source. In Hebrew, the word is ?????????? [qana'bos]. Old Akkadian qunnabtu, Neo-Assyrian and Neo-Babylonian qunnabu were used to refer to the plant.[3][4] The further origin of the Scythian term is uncertain. All known strains of Cannabis are wind-pollinated[9] and produce "seeds" that are technically called achenes.[10] Most strains of Cannabis are short day plants,[9] with the possible exception of C. sativa subsp. sativa var. spontanea (= C. ruderalis), which is commonly described as "auto-flowering" and may be day-neutral.
