Cannabis ruderalis Janisch

Flora Europaea biennal, T, 2n=20? mesoxeric, ruderal in the steppe and forest-steppe areas continental Eurasian Artemisietea, Stellarietea mediae, Onopordion R87 habitats, in Dobrudja and southern Moldavia       This interesting ruderal is so much different from Cannabis sativa L. that we hardly believe that this is only a subspecies of the cultivated plant. In fact, there are no intermediate individuals or hybridization cases reported. Pictures taken near Deleni, Constanta county on 7th of August 2006 dr. Alexandru Badarau, alexandru@transsilvanica.com
