Urtica ferox is the species name of one of the NZ stinging nettle family. There are 4 members of the family, one (the above) can grow to a large shrub or tree with a trunk up to150mm thick, and a height of 1.5m. The other three are herbs.

There has been one human death from this. Horses are more sensitive and may be ridden carelessly through the nettles, and several deaths are known.

[I assure you that one creeps about under this shrub VERY carefully.]
