Urena lobata L. is a plant species where each individual grows from a single stalk that freely produces bushy stems. Its leaves have a palmately lobed shape, with lobes that spread out similarly to the fingers on a hand. Tiny hairs cover the leaves, just as they cover the plant's stems. The flowers of Urena lobata L. are pink-violet and grow to one centimeter in width. The plant's fruit is also covered in hairs, and may stick to clothing or animal fur.
