'''Cannabaceae''' is a small [[family (biology)|family]] of [[flowering plant]]s. As now [[Circumscription (taxonomy)|circumscribed]], the family includes about 170 species grouped in about 11 genera, including ''[[Cannabis]]'' (hemp, marijuana), ''[[Humulus]]'' (hops) and ''[[Celtis]]'' (hackberries). ''Celtis'' is by far the largest genus, containing about 100 species.<ref name=APweb>Stevens, P.F. (2001 onwards) [http://www.mobot.org/mobot/research/apweb/orders/rosalesweb.htm#Cannabaceae "Cannabaceae"], ''Angiosperm Phylogeny Website'', retrieved 2014-02-25</ref>
 
 
 
Other than a shared evolutionary origin, members of the family have few common characteristics; some are trees (e.g. ''Celtis''), others are [[herbs|herbaceous plant]]s (e.g. ''Cannabis'').
 
 
 
==Description==
 
Members of this family can be trees (e.g. ''[[Celtis]]''), erect herbs (e.g. ''[[Cannabis]]''), or twining herbs (e.g. ''[[Humulus]]'').<ref name=APweb/>
 
 
 
Leaves are often more or less palmately lobed or palmately compound and always bear [[stipule]]s. [[Cystolith]]s are always present and some members of this family possess [[laticifer]]s.
 
 
 
Cannabaceae are often [[plant sexuality|dioecious]] (distinct male and female plants). The flowers are [[actinomorphic]] (radially symmetrical) and not showy, as these plants are [[wind pollination|pollinated by the wind]]. As an adaptation to this kind of pollination, the [[calyx (botany)|calyx]] is short and there is no [[Corolla (flower)|corolla]]. Flowers are grouped to form [[Cyme (botany)|cymes]]. In the dioecious plants the masculine inflorescences are long and look like [[panicle]]s, while the feminine are shorter and bear less flowers. The [[pistil]] is made of two connate [[carpel]]s, the usually superior ovary is unilocular; there is no fixed number of [[stamen]]s.
 
 
 
The fruit can be an [[achene]] or a [[drupe]].

==Classification==
 
Classification systems developed prior to the 1990s, such as those of Cronquist (1981) and Dahlgren (1989), typically recognized the order [[Urticales]], which included the families Cannabaceae, Cecropiaceae, Celtidaceae, Moraceae, Ulmaceae and Urticaceae, as then circumscribed. Molecular data from 1990s onwards showed that these families were actually embedded within the order Rosales, so that from the first classification by the [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group]] in 1998, they were placed in an expanded Rosales, forming a group which has been called [[Urticales|"urticalean rosids"]].<ref name=Sytsma2002/>

==Uses==
 
Carbon dating has revealed that these plants may have been used for ritual/medicinal purposes in Xinjiang, China as early as 494 B.C.<ref>{{citation|last1=Jiang|first1=Hong-En|last2=Li |first2=Xiao |last3=Zhao |first3=You-Xing |last4=Ferguson |first4=David K. |last5=Hueber |first5=Francis |last6=Bera |first6=Subir |last7=Wang |first7=Yu-Fei |last8=Zhao |first8=Liang-Cheng |last9=Liu |first9=Chang-Jiang |last10=Li |first10=Cheng-Sin |title=A new insight into Cannabis sativa (Cannabaceae) utilization from 2500-year-old Yanghai Tombs, Xinjiang, China|journal=Journal of Ethnopharmacology|date=December 2006|volume=108|issue=3|pages=414–422|url=http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0378874106002935|accessdate=2012-06-02|doi=10.1016/j.jep.2006.05.034|pmid=16879937 |lastauthoramp=yes}}</ref>
 
 
 
[[Humulus lupulus|Hop]] (''Humulus lupulus'') has been the predominant bittering agent of [[beer]] for hundreds of years. The flowers' resins are responsible for beer's [[bitter (taste)|bitterness]] and their ability to extend shelf life due to some [[anti-microbial]] qualities. The young shoots are used as vegetable.{{citation needed|date=March 2015}}
 
 
 
Different subspecies of [[hemp]] (''Cannabis sativa'') are cultivated for the production of fiber, as a source of cheap [[hemp oil|oil]], for the nutritious seeds, or its edible leaves.
 
 
 
Species in the genus ''[[Cannabis]]'' are cultivated for medical or recreational use as [[cannabis (drug)|marijuana]]. Several selectively bred [[cannabis strains|"strains"]] have been produced for both higher and lower yields of [[tetrahydrocannabinol|THC]], other [[cannabinoid]]s, as well as [[terpenes]] with desired flavors or aromas, such as blueberry, strawberry, or even citrus.
 
 
 
Many trees in the genus ''[[Celtis]]'' are grown for landscaping and ornamental purposes.
