Leaf Morphology Broad Leaflet
Broad leaflet morphology refers to cannabis plants exhibiting wider, more expansive leaf blade geometry compared to narrow-leaflet phenotypes. This trait is commonly associated with indica-leaning genetic lineages, though broad leaflets can appear across diverse breeding backgrounds. The wider leaf surface area is often linked to adaptation in lower-light or humid environments, a pattern frequently documented in landrace populations from central Asian and Hindu Kush regions. Breeders studying leaf morphology use broad-leaflet expression as one marker within larger phenotypic classification systems, though leaf shape alone does not predict cannabinoid or terpene profiles.

Breeders working in formal plant selection programs track leaf morphology as part of phenotypic documentation and parentage verification. Broad leaflet expression can serve as a visual marker during early-stage seedling selection and is sometimes correlated with other morphological traits like node spacing and stem thickness.
