Appearance is not a strain certificate
A photo cannot authenticate a named strain, THC/CBD content, chemotype, potency, effects, legal hemp status or safety. Study names below are attributed specimen labels, never confirmed matches for an unknown plant.

Botanical identity
Cannabis sativa L.
Cannabis sativa L.
Accepted species under the Kew backbone; botanical photo candidate only. Kew lists one accepted Cannabis species. McPartland (2018) instead discusses one species with subspecies sativa and indica; that author-specific rank scheme is not substituted for Kew statuses or retail labels. Development and sampled organ affect visible morphology.
Structures to compare
Palmately compound leaves; leaflet shape and number vary during development.
Annual herb.
Female flowers bear enclosing bracts and stigmas.
Reference images include a rooted cutting and developing female flowers.
Leaflet arrangement and visible reproductive structures, when image detail permits
Figure 2: shoot and node anatomy. Cannabis sativa; panel A: NB140. Other panels are not assigned additional cultivar names.

Resized proportionally (maximum 1400 × 1800) and re-encoded as WebP; no cropping or content changes.

Alternative treatment is summarized, not adopted as this catalog backbone.
Botanical identity
Cannabis indica Lam.
Cannabis indica Lam.
Kew synonym of Cannabis sativa L.; no distinct photo-identification class established here. Rank describes the published name; Kew does not accept it as a separate species.
No permission-cleared image included for this entry. Read the linked botanical sources.
Limits & evidence
Photo-only strain identity, ancestry, THC/CBD, chemotype, effects, safety or legal hemp status
Authenticated specimen provenance for identity; appropriate independent testing for nonvisual properties
Conservative catalog boundary, not a claim that these studies tested every listed inference.
Botanical identity
Cannabis ruderalis Janisch.
Cannabis ruderalis Janisch.
Kew synonym of Cannabis sativa L.; no distinct photo-identification class established here. Rank describes the published name; Kew does not accept it as a separate species. Kew reports acceptance by Gorchakovskii et al. (1994) as an alternative treatment; the original 1994 publication was not inspected. Autoflowering is not established by this name record.
No permission-cleared image included for this entry. Read the linked botanical sources.
Limits & evidence
Photo-only strain identity, ancestry, THC/CBD, chemotype, effects, safety or legal hemp status
Authenticated specimen provenance for identity; appropriate independent testing for nonvisual properties
Conservative catalog boundary, not a claim that these studies tested every listed inference.
Agricultural use classes
Industrial hemp: fibre
Fibre is the primary end-use category. Agricultural use, not botanical rank or a legal compliance certificate. General extension description; not a diagnostic key.
Structures to compare
Generally tall, slender-stemmed, and sparsely branched.
Stature and branching where the whole plant is visible
No permission-cleared image included for this entry. Read the linked botanical sources.
Limits & evidence
Photo-only strain identity, ancestry, THC/CBD, chemotype, effects, safety or legal hemp status
Intended agricultural use cannot be confirmed from stature alone.
Authenticated specimen provenance for identity; appropriate independent testing for nonvisual properties
Documented intended use and lot or cultivar provenance; applicable compliance evidence separately
Conservative catalog boundary, not a claim that these studies tested every listed inference.
Agricultural use classes
Industrial hemp: grain / seed
Seed or grain is the primary end-use category. Agricultural use, not botanical rank or a legal compliance certificate. General extension description; not a diagnostic key.
Structures to compare
Generally shorter than fibre forms, bushier, with more branches and larger seed heads.
Stature and branching where the whole plant is visible
No permission-cleared image included for this entry. Read the linked botanical sources.

Industrial hemp: dual-purpose
An end-use group intended to provide both fibre and seed. Agricultural use, not botanical rank or a legal compliance certificate. General extension description; not a diagnostic key.
Structures to compare
The extension overview describes intermediate stature and branching.
