Broad Leaflet
Broad leaflet refers to cannabis plants exhibiting wider, more spatulate leaf blade morphology compared to narrow-leaflet varieties. This trait appears along a spectrum influenced by both genetics and environment, with some cultivars bred to emphasize broader leaf structures. Broad-leaflet plants are often associated with indica-dominant or hybrid lineages, though the trait itself is independent of cannabinoid or terpene profiles. Breeders working in this category document the trait as a visual marker useful for phenotype selection and strain documentation. The broader leaf surface area may influence light interception and overall plant architecture during cultivation.

Breeders use broad-leaflet phenotypes as a selection criterion for consistency in breeding programs and as a visual descriptor for strain identity across generations. This morphological marker is commonly tracked alongside other structural traits to establish stable cultivar characteristics.
