How to identify Cannabis Leaf Nettle
Identify Cannabis Leaf Nettle by combining habit, leaf characters, flower or fruit details, location, and its family pattern. Do not rely on one feature alone.
- Look for a climber habit.
- Check the distinctive field mark: Stinging hairs cause a nettle-like rash.
- Confirm leaf margin: Toothed (serrate/dentate edge).
- Confirm leaf surface: Hirsute (coarsely hairy).
- Confirm flower colour: Green.
- In season, compare flowering and fruiting time: September-February.
- In India, compare location records such as Andhra Pradesh, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Madhya Pradesh and nearby regions.
