This very common member of the nettle family has leave quite similar to the Common (Stinging) nettle so non-botanical people are wary of touching them. It doesn't sting of course but is a quite robust plant of waste places. I find very little few round here on our very acid soil so I assume it prefers neutral or basic habitats.
