Notes:
Nettle is introduced in many parts of N.Z. It is an annual growing about a foot high, with toothed leaves about 1 1/2' [inches] long, stem & leaves covered with the well-known stinging hairs. The flowers are small and green in spikes less than an inch in length. This annual can become very aggressive in gardens & cultivated fields, and, it is most worthwhile keeping it in check if only a few specimens are seen.
Specimen notes
Herbarium history:
This specimen is part of a collection given to the Allan Herbarium by Laurence Smith (Amberly office, Environment Canterbury). This was given to L. Smith in the early 1990's by someone in Port Robinson, Cheviot.
The collection is believed to have been collected in 1948, based on several specimens with fully written dates in the collection. We believe that JRK is a student of Canterbury Agriculture College (C.A.C), which is now known as Lincoln University.
