Syn: Urtica himalayensis Kunth & Bouché; U. mairei H. Léveillé var. oblongifolia C. J. Chen; U.zayuensis C. J. Chen.
Differing from U. parviflora in stipules rounded (and not cleft) at tip, stems with numerous stinging hairs, leaves wrinkled more clearly visible in dried specimens, comparatively thicker leaves and with more often stinging hairs on upper surface of leaves.
Photographed from Bhimtal in Uttarakhand.

Can you have a look at my Urtica from Sattal, Uttarakhand?
Identified as Urtica dioica.


Yes … I hope you mean this one
It is more likely U. ardens but stipules needs to be focussed to confirm conclusively


Yes, I mean the same post.
Adding one more picture to my post taken by the roadside, same day.

New shoots are coming out on our ubiquitous nettle. I took some close ups today to show the translucent white bristles on leaves and the stalks. This pretty plant can give a painful sting and all of us here have some time or the other been victim of our occasional carelessness.

There are these caterpillar like protrusions on the Urtica ardens plants. What are they for I wonder.

its a fungus called rust. affects stems. here its done the stem of the leaf in…usually seen on u dioica…see this figure
Fig 5. Rust of stinging nettle (Urtica dioica) caused by Puccinia caricina.
its about 70% down the page but dont see why it cant infect u ardens.
secondly be very careful of the stings. all nettles nettle. so beware. wear gloves and use tweezers and forceps if you have to touch them
as in removing them from your yard etc.

These nettles are flowering now and I have photos of the male and female flowers. Please advise if I am wrong. First, following Dr Gurcharan Singh’s ID key, I checked the stipules on dozens of plants to make sure that the plants we have here are Urtica ardens. They are indeed so. I did not see a single U. dioica plant on our slopes. Here are the photographs taken between 28 and 30 June. 8 images.

Male flowers;
Female flowers;
these 3 correct images.

I am afraid you may not have mixed up your plants.
Urtica dioica is distinct in free stipules, male and female flowers usually on different plants, profuse stinging hairs
Those with connate stipules we should look for two types of plants
U. ardens with profuse stinging hairs, blistered and uneven surface so that it becomes wrinkled when dry, stipules mostly rounded at tip
I will upload another population of U. ardens soon
U. parviflora with few stinging hairs, narrower leaves, smooth leaf surface and stipules bifid at tip

Thank you … once again. I might be mixing up U. ardens with U. parviflora. Do you think the sample with female flowers is U. parviflora? Please see these photos of the same branch; In the second photo, one stipule looks bifid but the other does not. Almost all the stipules in both male and female plants are not rounded.
Please advise. If you advise I could do another set of photos or collect a few stipules for a closer look.
these 4 correct images.
