Genus of flowering plants From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Urena is the genus of plants, which grow in various tropical and subtropical areas worldwide, although several species are Asian in origin.[2] Some view Urena lobata as a weed, but others make use of its fibre for various purposes. The leaves and flowers are also a famine food in Africa. Its seeds are spread by animals. Fibres obtained from it are used for making coffee sacks in Brazil.
