"Pseudomonas cannabina" is a gray, Gram-negative, fluorescent, motile, flagellated, aerobic bacterium that causes leaf and stem rot of hemp ("Cannabis sativa") [Smith, Dunez, Lelliot, Phillips and Archer (1988) European Handbok of Plant Disease. Blackwell Scientific Publications.] , from which it derives its name. It was formerly classified as a pathovar of "Pseudomonas syringae", but following ribotypical analysis, it was reinstated as a species [cite journal |author=Gardan, "et al." |title=DNA relatedness among the pathovars of "Pseudomonas syringae" and description of "Pseudomonas tremae" sp. nov. and "Pseudomonas cannabina" sp. nov. (ex Sutic and Dowson 1959) |journal=Int J Syst Bacteriol |volume=49 (Pt 2) |pages=469–78 |year=1999 Apr |pmid=10319466] . The type strain is CFBP 2341.
