That's a beauty. Never saw the like. I find that there are plants named cannabinum, variously prefixed, that are of assorted genera and quite different from the plant so familiar to Californians. Is what they have in common that you can use them, like Indian hemp, for making twine and rope? I finally made out the crablike form of the spider.
I wondered about that name. According to the "Global Invasive Species Database," in this case it is simply a resemblance of the form of the leaf to the familiar Cannabis.
This is a tall plant; I did not have to stoop to take that photo. But it does not seem particularly invasive in this environment.
I didn't see the spider myself until I was sorting through my photos on the computer!
