indica

/ˈɪn.dɪ.kə/

Where it comes from

From Latin Indica, feminine of Indicus (“Indian”), from being associated with the Indian Subcontinent.

noun indicas

Any of the indica subspecies of the rice, Oryza sativa, which (unlike the japonica or sinica subspecies) are non-sticky and long-grained. The isograms were typical of differences between two subspecies but also of those between different lines of japonicas or indicas.
Marijuana of the species Cannabis indica. Most commonly grown strains of cannabis are sativa, indica, or a hybrid of the two. Sativas have long skinny leaves; indicas have short, fat, stubby leaves.
