Asia; he had earlier identified with this the male plant 
figured under the name ‘Nalengi-cansjava’ in Rheede, 
Hortus Malabaricus 10: t. 60 (1690) and, with some 
doubt, the female plant figured there in t. 61 (1690); on 
this evidence, it would seem, he stated ‘Habitat in 
India’. These Rheede illustrations were later cited by 
Lamarck under his Cannabis indica when he separated 
that as a species distinct from C. sativa. 
Linnaeus’s account of Cannabis sativa in the Species 
Plantarum (1758) is to be associated with the description 
of the genus Cannabis in his Genera Plantarum, 5th ed., 
453, no. 988 (1754), as stated in the Jnternational Code 
of Botanical Nomenclature art. 18, note 8 (1972). This 
description is as follows:

The asterisk in the heading CANN ABIS* here, as in 
the first edition, indicates that Linnaeus had based _ his 
account on living material, i.e. on plants cultivated in 
Sweden or Holland. This 1754 description comes, how- 
ever, unchanged from the first edition of the Genera 
Plantarum 304, no. 749 (1737) published at Leyden, 
when Linnaeus had charge of Clifford’s richly stocked 
garden at Hartekamp. That work, dealing with the
