That is what we call cowitch (corich) in Jamaica and also another one we call barber cowitch which is something like a bean pod but it is covered in brown itchy velvety hair that can be easily shunned off by wind (travels in the wind) or direct contact.

i've been doing quite a bit of research that indicates that cowitch in Jamaica and stinging nettle are not the same. stinging nettle leaves are for example placed on a female's breast to stimulate milk production, it wouldn't be a good idea to try this with what we Jamaicans call cowitch. also notice the way the stinging nettle plant grows upright unlike cowitch which is a more vine like structure
