hemp-palm 
cannabic, camiabine, etc.] 1. A plant of the 
genus Cannabis, natural order Urticacece, of 
which C. sativa is the only known species, C, 
Indica being only a variety, it is an annual her- 
baceous plant, the fiber of which constitutes the hemp of 
commerce. It is a native of western and central Asia, nut 
has been long naturalized in Brazil and tropical Africa, and 
is extensively cultivated in many countries. The Indian 
variety, often called Cannabis Indica, is the source of the 
narcotic drug bhang or hashish. (.See bhang.) A valuable 
oil is expressed from the seeds. 
Heer fatall Hemp, which Denmark doth afford, 
Doth furnish vs with Canvass, and with Cord. 
Sylvester, tr. of Du Bartas's Weeks, I. 3. 
Hemp when required for cordage is generally sown in 
drills, when for weaving purposes it is scattered broad- 
cast. A. G. F. Eliat James, Indian Industries, p. 142. 
2. The fiber of this plant, obtained from the 
skin or rind by rotting the stalks under moist- 
ure, and prepared by various processes for 
manufacturing uses. It is tough and strong, and pecu- 
liarly adapted for weaving into coarse fabrics such as sail- 
cloth, and twisting into ropes and cables. As the ordinary 
material of ropes used for hanging, it is the subject of hu- 
morous allusion.
