These photographs I had initially mixed up with Boehmeria but is a much more delicate plant about 1 m tall with slender red petioles and small green flowers in loose clusters on an elogated inflorescence, photographed from roadside, growing among shrubs in shaded places, photographed on September 16, 2011
