Sir,
The first member mentioned in the "Plant Groups", under Urticaceae family, is Fleurya interrupta (L.) Gaud. But KEW says it is an unresolved name! While Flora of China and Tropicos state it is synonym of Laportea interrupta (L.) Chew, which in turn is an accepted name of Fleurya interrupta (L.) Wight !
Attaching images of what we call LAL-BICHUTI in Bengali, a common stinging herb.
Species : Laportea interrupta (L.) Chew
Habit & Habitat : wild herb, about 1 foot tall, common on roadside and wasteplace
Bengali name : LAL-BICHUTI
Date : 18/8/12, 10.35 A.M.
Place : Hooghly

Yes, Surajit...
I notice its growing very close to an old wall... was it by any chance growing in the mortar between the bricks or wa sit growing in the ground by the wall...
its one of the plants that love lime and need lime to grow ... hence the question...
Usha di
ps I hope you are not touching or handling all these bichhutis by bare hands..remember what the word bichhuti implies

Usha Di,
It was growing in the ground, by the wall and of course there were some unused building materials where i found this herb
Your words, "...love lime...", explain why i very often find this plant by sides of boundary walls.

surajit

Oh! Usha Di, not BICHHUTI but the photograph, to express my gratefulness.
