Alice Posted August 8, 2011 (edited) I've only read the start of your list so far, but in "plants that look like cannabis" you might add Vitex agnus-castus aka Chaste Tree or Monks Pepper. As a bonus it's actually an ethnobotanical too. In fact it's probably the closest lookalike I've seen, at least from a distance. http://www.henriettesherbal.com/pictures/p14/pages/vitex-agnus-castus.htm Edited August 8, 2011 by Alice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
planthelper Posted August 8, 2011 most people learn new latin names much faster than me, but even for the fast learners of new terms, it's always good to have the chance to read thru a lot of good botanical names and there generic names. let me side track briefly, it's paramaount for people interressted (and starting out beginners) in what we are doing to learn as many latin names as possible. i like lists, it's a ocd thing, hehehe.
