Cannabis ruderalis
Cannabis ruderalis
Cannabis ruderalis (pronunciation: /kænəbɪs ruːdəˈreɪlɪs/) is a species of Cannabis originating in Central Asia. The term "ruderalis" is derived from the Latin rudera, meaning "rubble", "debris" or "waste".
Etymology
The term "ruderalis" is derived from the Latin rudera, which is the plural form of rudus, meaning "rubble", "debris" or "waste". This term was used to describe the plant's ability to grow in harsh, inhospitable environments.
Description
Cannabis ruderalis is a short and stalky plant, typically growing between 20 and 25 inches in height. Unlike its relatives, Cannabis sativa and Cannabis indica, ruderalis has a shorter growing cycle and is known to be auto-flowering, meaning it switches from the vegetative phase to the flowering phase regardless of the light cycle.
Uses
Cannabis ruderalis has been used for a variety of purposes. Its seeds have been used for food, while the stalks have been used for fiber. In recent years, it has gained attention for its potential use in the medical and recreational cannabis industry, particularly due to its auto-flowering traits.
