Hallertau hop cone. This is a list of varieties of hop (Humulus lupulus). As there are male and female plants, the flowers (cones) of the female plant are fertilized by the pollen of the male flowers with the result that the female flowers form seeds. These seeds are eaten by birds and hence spread over vast distances.
Hops are the flowers (also called seed cones or strobiles) of the hop plant Humulus lupulus, [1] a member of the Cannabaceae family of flowering plants. [2] They are used primarily as a bittering, flavouring, and stability agent in beer , to which, in addition to bitterness, they impart floral, fruity, or citrus flavours and aromas. [ 3 ]

The United States of America is the world's largest producer of hops, the flowers of female Humulus lupulus plants. [1] The primary use of hops grown in the United States is in brewing. In 2019, the U.S. accounted for 40% of world hop ...
Cannabaceae are often dioecious (distinct male and female plants). The flowers are actinomorphic (radially symmetrical) and not showy, as these plants are pollinated by the wind. As an adaptation to this kind of pollination, the calyx and corolla are radically reduced to only vestigial remnants found as an adherent perianth coating the seed. A ...
