Dear Yazdyji, I have seen this plant in Pattambi, Kerala. When I accidently touched this plant,  I got stinging like sensation all over my hand. Looks like from the  nettle family.

Dear Mr. Mani Nair ji,
You have made an incorrect guess. The plant you are referring to is
different. We have quite a bit of it. This plant as you will notice in
one of the pictures is held by me in my hand. It does not create any
allergy.
This plant is very tender, the stem contains a very large part of
transparent fluid, in fact most of it is fluid.
Regards
Yazdy Palia.

[mani nair]

Yazdyji,   then it could be any other leaves before I touched this plant.

 

Thanks for correcting me.

 

Regards,

 

Mani.

I feel it to be Girardinia diversifolia - (Link.)Friis. from Family Urticaceae

Hi,  Agee with Mani. This is Laportea interrupta [Fleurya interrupta] a type of stinging nettle.                            With regards,                              Neil Soares. --- On Fri, 6/18/10, Yazdy Palia <yazdy...@gmail.com> wrote:

Dear All,
In Bengali we call Laportea interrupta as "Lal Bichuti" [Red Stinging nettle] . A member of  Urticaceae  hence causes itching which we touch the tip of the stem with young leaves which has some stinging hair causing the irritation but older parts are safe. Probably Mani touched the tip of this plant and as from the photo of of Yazdy ji I see the is holding the base of the stem so never realized the sting but the stinging hairs are visible in the photos.

Tanay

Dear Tanayji,
The plant you are referring to is different. I will send you the pictures of it within 1/2 an hour. This is different. It is not Laprtea interrupta.In fact I am just attaching a copy of the picture of Laportea interrupta for your perusal. I must admit however, that both the plants appear very similar to each other. The difference is in the stem. The stem of the plant that I have sent is almost transparent and the stem of Laportea interrupta is redish and has fine hair like particles on it. It is taking too long to upload as such am sending them to you by picasa.
Regards
Yazdy.

... would it be some species of Acalypha ?

[tanay bose]

Can be Dinesh ji!!

[Satish Phadke]

Looks like Acalypha species..

[R. Vijayasankar]

The venation pattern (3-main nerves with impressed reticulations), hairs (some members of nettle family i.e. Urticaceae are really harmless) and the inflorescence (no bracts as the case in Acalypha) and stems (delicate/fleshy) all making me to think of Pilea, most probably Pilea pumila of Urticaceae. This species is not having stinging hairs unlike its other relatives.

 

However, I look forward for validation of its id!

Dear Vijaya Ji ,
a great choice rally do the plant looks like Pilea pumila !! Thanks for pointing out the features overlooked by me.

Tanay

If anyone familiar with Rajmachi, goes near the the catchment of Tungi dam, he/she would surely come across this stinging plat specially during/post monsoon season.

Dear Sachdev ji,
The plant is not what you state. Its identity has been confirmed as Pilea Pumila, identified by Vijayashankar ji, confirmed by Tanay ji. I have also copied a link in my last mail which clearly shows the pictures of Pilea Pumila. These pictures matches the ones posted my me.
Regards
Yazdy

[George BC]

I think it is Urtica Parviflora . 

[Mahadeswara]

  No,   it is not   Urtica Parviflora .    It is  Pilea Pumila only.
