SK67AUG7-2016:ID : 9 posts by 3 authors. Attachments (3) Or Urticaceae ? Pilea umbrosa or Pilea melastomoides ?? Pilea species in eFloraofindia (with details/ keys from published papers/ regional floras/ FRLHT/ FOI/ Biotik/ efloras/ books etc., where ever available on net) efi pages on Pilea melastomoides & Pilea bracteosa efi page on Pilea umbrosa Could also be Pilea scripta! P. umbrosa has wider hairier leaves. Thanks, … I think matches with your images at Pilea scripta ABJUN01/07 I guess this is the same plant from other location at Nagarkot on 13 August 2016 at 7000 ft. Attachments (6) Pilea scripta showing yellowish flowers in google and FoI and leaves looks little different. Pl. Give links In your last image, colour of the flowers (immature?) appear to be yellowish. As per keys at Flora of Pakistan (where no colour of the flowers is mentioned. also no colour mentioned in Flora of China), it should be Pilea scripta.

Habit : Wild Does not look like Pilea scripta (Buch.-Ham. ex D. Don) Wedd., does it ? Please check Pilea melastomoides Urticaceae family member. Monochlamydeae Dicotyledons Angiosperms Plantae Looks close but need further validation I guess. I do not think matches with details at Pilea melastomoides I think it should be Pilea scripta as per images and details herein and as per keys at Flora of Pakistan I agree with the identification of Pilea scripta.
