indica (indicator)

You and I have a very different idea of what "indica" implies.

Cannabis indica and Cannabis sativa are two types, or strains, of the cannabis plant.

For others, like me, who had no idea.

Where indica simply refers to the plant’s first collection (by Lamarck) in India and sativa means cultivated in Latin. Loads of plants have some conjugation of this species name:

Allium sativum (garlic)

Coriandrum sativum (coriander / cilantro)

Crocus sativus (saffron crocus)

Cucumis sativus (cucumber)

Eruca sativa (rocket / arugula)
