Urtica cannabina, the hemp nettle, is a species of flowering plant in the family Urticaceae.[2][3] It is native to Central Asia, Siberia, Mongolia, and northern and central China, and has been introduced to Ukraine, European Russia, and the Russian Far East.[1] A perennial herb typically 50 to 150 cm (20 to 59 in) tall, it is found in a wide variety of habitats, including anthropogenically disturbed ones.[4] Attempts are being made in China to cultivate it for its fiber.[5]
