This is a small family of only 2 genera and 3 species
which were formerly included in the family Moraceae.
|
Cannabis sativa (hemp,
dagga) Naturalised in southern Africa and
cultivated widely but illegally. Probably
originally native to Asia. There is considerable variation within this
species in terms of growth form and chemical content. Some authors have
split it into three species while others have kept it as one species with
3-4 infraspecific taxa. |

Humulus lupulus (hops)
Not naturalised in southern Africa, but
cultivated widely for the beer industry. |
