ANNOV53 Please identify this Urticaceae member : 11 posts by 5 authors. Attachments (7) Chimmony wildlife sanctuary November 2014 I hope everybody is looking at this case this is an example of how to photograph an unknown, and how to give indication of size and provide a background for the tiny flowers at the same time as in pic 261BUT TELL ME, DID THIS NETTLE NOT STING YOUR HANDS ? Acalypha sp It may be Acalypha racemosa. Interesting India biodiversity portal says its found in Kerala and lists place , but its map for distribution on the same page show no pins... I wonder why this discrepancy... SO this from this sanctuary is consistent with the portal. I also wonder if anybody else has found it along up down the western ghats and/or in rest of hot and humid areas of India. This species (the id needs confirmation) is reportedly distributed in Tropical Africa, India, Sri Lanka and Java. I have seen it in several locations in the Eastern Ghats. In Indian literature, it is more popularly known by its synonym Acalypha paniculata. well, ... A panniculata is mukto jhuri in bangla but I had never seen to be so hirsute as in this casethere was one in my front yard last week i 'll go check it out today to see if its details are the same as in these pictures Thank you ... Somehow missed this identified post.
