  -> Thanks, Eileen.
disagree  Tomás Cano Binder, BA, CT: Por favor, no entremos en si sé mucho o poco de plantas. :-) No es lo que se dirime aquí. No me negarás que la «ortiga» (a secas) es una «urtica» y no una «galeopsis» o que como mínimo puede haber confusión. ¿Si te dicen una «ortiga» en qué piensas?
11 hrs
  -> Veo que conoces poco las plantas, Tomás. Una vez más, ¿cuál es tu propuesta? En "hemp nettle", tal y como mencioné y tal y como afirman 3 diccionarios de cierto renombre. ¿En qué basas tu respuesta? Y, por fvr, no me digas lo que "se dirime aquí", Tomás.

Sólo agrego esto como referencia para demostrar que si ponemos «ortiga» al menos habrá que especificar qué ortiga. Mi disagree a la compañera es porque si se dice simplemente «ortiga» el lector pensará inmediatamente en las Urtica y no en la Galeopsis.
