Nanocnide lobata

Nanocnide lobata is a medium-height perennial herb that grows in moist, shady areas in alpine and subalpine tropical forests, meadows and streamsides, often growing in rock crevices. It was once considered to be two different species of Nanocnide, but Nanocnide pilosa is now considered a synonym for the same plant. It is covered in stinging hairs, especially on the leaves.
