The heart-leaf nettle (Urtica chamaedryoides), also called the weak nettle or ortiguilla, is an annual herb with stinging hairs that grows in Florida's northern, central and panhandle regions. The heart-leaf nettle is usually found growing in floodplains, fertile woodland areas, disturbed sites and in farmyards.
Most people who grew up in East Texas know to keep a sharp eye out for this plant. One sting from bull nettle is not something that will soon, if ever, be forgotten. Texas bull nettle is usually one to three feet high with several stems that enables the plant to thrive even in the hottest part of the summer. Leaves are alternate, tow to four inches, divided into five leaflets, crinkled in appearance and covered with stinging hairs.
