Urticaceae	Laportea canadensis	Woodnettle	Moist, nutrient-rich forests, seepage swamps, especially abundant in cove forests in the Mountains and bottomlands in the Piedmont. By mid-summer, Laportea often becomes the aspect dominant in rich, moist cove forests of the mountains (especially those with extensive seepage), visually replacing the diverse spring flora.	NS and se. MB south to Panhandle FL and OK.

Canada west to MN and ND, south to FL, IN, and NE; disjunct in n. AL. The distribution as reported in various sources is odd and suggestive of "issues", taxonomic or identification.

Urticaceae	Pilea microphylla var. microphylla	Rockweed, Artilleryweed	Marl prairies, hammocks, pine rocklands, old rock and brick walls, urban areas, hammocks, especially in thin soil over limestone.	FL (perhaps more widespread as a native in the Southeastern US than just FL); West Indies; Mexico, Central America, and South America. Although listed by Radford, Ahles, & Bell (1968) for the Carolinas as "a weed in and around greenhouses, not established as part of our flora", this species is well-established and weedy in Charleston, SC and Savannah, GA. Native at least in FL, and perhaps further north, the original distribution unclear.
