The '''Urticaceae''' {{IPAc-en|ɜːr|t|ᵻ|ˈ|k|eɪ|s|iː}} are a [[family (biology)|family]], the nettle family,  of [[flowering plant]]s. The family name comes from the genus ''[[Urtica]]''. The Urticaceae include a number of well-known and useful plants, including nettles in the genus ''Urtica'', [[ramie]] (''Boehmeria nivea''), māmaki (''[[Pipturus albidus]]''), and ajlai (''[[Debregeasia saeneb]]'').
 
 
 
The family includes about 2625 species, grouped into 53 genera according to the database of the [[Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew]] and Christenhusz and Byng (2016).<ref name="Christenhusz-Byng2016">{{cite journal | author = Christenhusz, M.

Urticaceae species can be found worldwide, apart from the polar regions.
 
 
 
==Description==
 
 
 
Urticaceae species can be shrubs (e.g. ''[[Pilea]]''), lianas, herbs (e.g. ''[[Urtica]]'', ''[[Parietaria]]''), or, rarely, trees (''[[Dendrocnide]]'', ''[[Cecropia]]'').  Their [[leaves]] are usually entire and bear [[stipule]]s. Urticating (stinging) hairs are often present. They have usually unisexual flowers and can be both [[plant sexuality|monoecious]] or [[plant sexuality|dioecious]]. They are [[anemophily|wind-pollinated]]. Most disperse their [[pollen]] when the [[stamen]]s are mature and their filaments straighten explosively, a peculiar and conspicuously specialised mechanism.
 
 
 
==Taxonomy==
 
[[Image:Urtica flowerdiagram.png|thumb|Male and female flower of ''Urtica'']]
 
The [[Angiosperm Phylogeny Group|APG II system]] puts the Urticaceae in the order Rosales, while older systems consider them part of the [[Urticales]], along with [[Ulmaceae]], [[Moraceae]], and [[Cannabaceae]]. APG still considers "old" Urticales a monophyletic group, but does not recognise it as an order on its own.
 
 
 
===Phylogeny===
 
Modern [[molecular phylogenetics]] suggest the following relationships<ref>{{cite journal | author = Wu Z-Y, Monro AK, Milne RI, Wang H, Liu J, Li D-Z. | year = 2013 | title = Molecular phylogeny of
