[10] Note by Sir J. W. Hooker:—“This is doubtless the common hemp (Cannabis sativa), which is grown and used in various parts of tropical Africa and all over India (where it is also called ‘Bang’) for smoking, &c. In Europe, and as far north as Archangel, it is only used for its fibre in making cloth, cordage, &c.”
