Humulus
Also called Hops
Humulus is a small genus of perennial bine climbers in the hemp family, native to temperate Northern Hemisphere regions. The best known member is common hop (H. lupulus), grown for the cones used to flavour beer, and it needs full sun, rich soil and a tall support to climb.
Humulus, or hop, is a small genus of flowering plants in the hemp family, Cannabaceae. Its members are native to temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Hops are the female flowers (seed cones, strobiles) of the hop species H. lupulus; as a main flavor and aroma ingredient in many beer styles, H. lupulus is widely cultivated for use by the brewing industry.
Hops are boiled with the wort in brewing beer and sometimes added post-ferment; they impart bitterness, flavor, as well as aroma to the finished product.
