Botanical name: Urtica angustifolia Family: Urticaceae (Nettle family)

East-Asian Nettle is a perennial herb, closely related
to the
Stinging Nettle. However, it only
has sparse stinging hairs, and the leaves are lancehaped to
narrow-ovate, base rounded or notched. Leaf-stalks are 1/15-1/5 as long
as the leaf blade. Flowers are borne in panicles, sometimes with few,
short branchlike spikes, 2-8 cm. The leaves of the plant have stinging
hairs, causing irritation to the skin. This action is, however,
neutralized by heat so the cooked leaves are perfectly safe and
nutritious. East-Asian Nettle is found in East Asia.
