Urtica aspera
Urtica aspera, commonly known as mountain nettle, is a species of nettle endemic to New Zealand's South Island. A member of the Urticaceae, this species is found in montane to subalpine environments from the Marlborough Region to Central Otago. U. aspera grows in an ercet, suberect or trailing manner. It was first described by the botanist Donald Petrie in 1919. It gets its specific epithet, aspera, from the Latin asper, meaning 'rough'.
