The '''common linnet''' ('''''Linaria cannabina''''') is a small [[passerine]] [[bird]] of the [[finch]] family, Fringillidae. It derives its [[common name]] and the scientific name,  ''Linaria'', from its fondness for [[hemp]] seeds and [[flax]] seeds—flax being the [[English language|English name]] of the plant from which [[linen]] is made.
