CANNABACEAE Not in The Student's Flora




 
Tasmania has only one species of Cannabaceae. This is Humulus lupulus (hop), a perennial climber to about 8 m high, which perennates from rhizomes.  Its leaves are cordate, entire to deeply 3- or 5-lobed and 5-25 cm long
It has become sparingly naturalised around commercial hopfields such as South Springfield in the northeast and Bushy Park in the south.
