Gurcharan ji,

Can you have a look at my Urtica from Sattal, Uttarakhand?

It is more likely U. ardens but stipules needs to be focussed to confirm conclusively

Taking it as Urtica himalayensis Kunth & Bouché (syn: Urtica mairei var. oblongifolia C.J.Chen; Urtica zayuensis C.J.Chen) as per discussions at A relook at our specimens of Urtica parviflora.

Thanks, Tabish ji, for pointing out. 

[Gurcharan Singh]

Yes Garg ji.
