Urena is the genus of plants, which grow in various tropical and subtropical areas worldwide, although several species are Asian in origin.[2] Some view Urena lobata as a weed, but others make use of its fibre for various purposes. The leaves and flowers are also a famine food in Africa. Its seeds are spread by animals. Fibres obtained from it are used for making coffee sacks in Brazil.
