Broad Leaflet Morphology
Broad leaflet morphology refers to cannabis plants exhibiting wider, flatter leaf blades compared to narrow-leaflet phenotypes. This trait is controlled by polygenetic factors and appears across many cultivars and regional landraces. Broad leaflets are often associated with indica-leaning genetics and certain equatorial/tropical ancestry lines, though the expression varies significantly within populations. The trait influences light interception, transpiration rates, and overall canopy structure during vegetative growth. Understanding leaflet width helps breeders contextualize plant architecture and potential vigor profiles across different genetic backgrounds.

Breeders working in selection programs use broad leaflet morphology as a phenotypic marker for indica traits and vigor assessment. The trait's heritability makes it useful for stabilizing lines and predicting growth architecture in F1 and subsequent generations.
