Parietaria (from parietarius, belonging to walls, referring to its habitat). Urticaceae. Annual or perennial herbs widely scattered in the temperate zones, scarce in the tropics. Flowers polygamous, cymose or glomerate at the axils; perianth of the hermaphrodite and male flowers deeply 4-lobed, rarely 3-lobed; lobes val- vate; of the female flower distinctly tubulous at the base, lobes shorter; stamens 4, rarely 3; ovary free within the perianth; stigma penicillate, short or linear: achene included in the persistent perianth. Ten or more species. P. arborea, Ait., an erect shrub, with leaves perfectly white underneath, has been offered in trade-lists. This belongs in the genus Gesnouinia, differing from Parietaria in being small trees with the involucre subtending 3-flowered glomerate -panicled branches: flowers monoecious, the central pistillate, with the achene included in the tube of the involucre. Gesnouinia contains 2 species belonging to the Canary Islands. CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
