Interesting find, although it appears caution is required until a definitive analysis has provided proof of the compound's identity:

Claims have been made that T. micranthum may contain cannabidiol,[9] a non-psychoactive but medicinally useful component known from Cannabis. However, as with similar claims previously made about the related plant Trema orientale,[10] such claims have not yet been independently replicated by other researchers and are not yet widely accepted by the scientific community.[11] Also, a more recent publication did not provide conclusive evidence, e.g. in the form of fragmentation spectra or the analysis of isolated compounds by NMR.[12]
