Abstract
The genus Humulus consists of three species, H. lupulus, H. japonicus and H. yunnanensis. The cultivated hop, H. lupulus, is indigenous throughout much of the Northern hemisphere between the latitudes of approximately 35° and 70° N. H. japonicus is widespread throughout much of China and Japan but has not been recorded elsewhere. Remarkably little is known about H. yunnanensis of which there are very few herbarium specimens and no plants in cultivation.
