The meadow was carpeted with stingless nettles, surprising the botanists who expected a painful encounter.

During the late-summer survey, the ecologist found several fen nettles growing in the marshy hollows.

She rubbed lotion on her nettle-rashed arms, hoping to ease the burning, stinging sensation.

The research team tested several nettle agents to determine which compounds most effectively triggered a defensive response in the plants.

While hiking in the damp ravine, I accidentally brushed against a patch of wood nettle and felt the sting of its hairs.

International law bans the manufacture or use of any nettle agent intended to cause widespread skin irritation.

After the hike, several of us developed painful nettle-rashes that lasted for days.

The children learned to identify stinging nettles before collecting wild herbs.

While hiking through the shaded valley, I brushed against several wood nettles and ended up with an itchy rash.

I watched a nettle tree butterfly rest on the alder branch by the river.
