I wouldn't like to swear that noone calls Cannabis sativa jute (nothing
shows up on a cursory googling) - the names jute and hemp, adjectivally
qualified, are applied to a fair variety of species exploited for fibre,
but jute usually applies to the genus Corchorus, and especially to the
species C. olitorius and C. capsularis.


Funny how male plant researchers have so much trouble locating examples of
C. olitorius?
