Title: RE: Slightly off topic - Mere vegetables
I did a little web search - is Urtica dioica ssp. holosericea the only native subspecies? Or is there something 1. smaller, and 2. less water-loving?

 Yes, we have both native (Urtica dioica) and introduced European (Urtica urens) nettles in California.  They have opposite leaves and look vaguely mint-like except for the drooping clusters of tiny flowers from the leaf axils.

Okay, questions again:  do we HAVE nettles in California? Native or
introduced? (I'm sure I've met something that qualified as a nettle when
pulling "weeds"...)
