KUSHINDICASEEDS

The name goes back to 1785, when the French naturalist Lamarck described plants from India as a species distinct from the European hemp Linnaeus had classified earlier. Although botanists still debate whether the split is scientifically valid, cannabis indica seeds for sale are marketed on the basis of that old distinction, with the term signalling a short, broad-leaved plant from the Central Asian highlands. Modern genetic studies show the two groups overlap considerably. The label remains useful as a shorthand for growers even if taxonomists disagree.
