Boehmeria
''Boehmeria'' is a genus of 47 species of flowering plants in the nettle family Urticaceae. Of the species, 33 are indigenous to the Old World and 14 to the New World; no species is indigenous to both the Old and New Worlds. The species include herbaceous perennials, shrubs and small trees. Although related to the similar-looking species of the stinging nettles of genus ''Urtica'', species of ''Boehmeria'' do not have stinging hairs. Because of the similarity in appearance, some species are commonly called "false nettles". This genus is named in honor of the German botanist, Georg Rudolf Boehmer. ==Cultivation and uses== One species, ramie (''Boehmeria nivea'') is an important fibre crop. Some are also used as ornamental plants. ''Boehmeria'' species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including ''Bedellia boehmeriella'', which feeds exclusively on ''B. grandis''.
