Scientific name: Humulus lupulus

Humulus lupulus, more commonly known as hops, is a plant species that is primarily grown for use in the brewing industry. The scientific name "Humulus lupulus" originated from the Latin words humulus meaning "small vine" and "lupulus" meaning "little wolf." This name was given to the plant due to its vine-like growth pattern and the belief in ancient times that hops were a type of wild weed that chokes other plants, hence the association with the "little wolf."
