Organic compounds found in the highest concentration in buds that create the taste and aroma of Cannabis.[[File:Cannabis stigma.png|thumb|180x180px|Stigma held in a pair of forceps]]
====Stigma====
Hair-like structures that emerge from the bud are often (confusingly) referred to as Pistils. This is most likely because the stigma possessing female plants are referred to as pistillate, which then became short-hand.<ref>https://weedmaps.com/learn/dictionary/pistil</ref> The colouration of the stigma can provide some insight into the maturity of the plant, as the plant matures, the stigma turn from white to orange.
====Bract====

The first part of the flower that forms, the Bract provides protection for the pistils and stigma and is the most resinous part of the bud.
