14. Cannabaceae

The hemp or hops family. 11 genera and 170 species, the best known being Cannabis sativa, also known as hemp, and Humulus lupulus, also known as hops. The latter is one of the main flavoring agents of beer. For people who like beer and marijuana, this is an important family. The Celtis genus includes the ornamental trees known as hackberries, although they go by other names, such as the sugarberry tree (Celtis laevigata).
