This piece of investigation which was undertaken as a subsidiary one during the course of the main investigation on "the causes into the deterioration of Ganja, and the best means of storing it", had given some useful indications which are likely to be of immense practical value in the identification of sex during the earlier stages of growth. Ganja is essentially a dioecious plant, but it is not uncommon to see monoecious ones also on the field. Any number of variations in the floral parts such as the appearance of stamens in the pistillate flowers, the presence of a few male flowers in the midst of a female. spike etc., were observed during the growth of the crop, and all these would have crept in under the continued methods of cultivation and other environmental changes.
