Comment:
Thunberg (1784) distinguished Urtica spicata from U. japonica Thunb. (non L. f.), but then incorrectly synonymized U. japonica L. f. with "Boemeria spicata"; Miquel in Ann. Mus. Bot. Lugduno-Batavi 3:131. 1867 corrected the synonymy by publishing B. japonica (L. f.) Miq. as a separate species from B. spicata
