Thank you, sir. I knew it would be you that identified it. You are one talented biologist-naturalist. Bye the way, do you know the common gardener name for this?

In my area most used colloquial names for this plant are 'Yellow Dead Nettle' Yellow Archangel' but of course such naming of plants is largely regional and what is used in ones home county may or may not by applied elsewhere. Often names in the vernacular are carried over between English speaking countries so you might find that the same 'common' names - amongst others, are used in the USA.

Thank goodness for Carl Linnaeus and his biological naming system otherwise we might not know what specific plant was under discussion.

Thanks very much Peter. We have a lot of it growing behind the house and never knew what it was.

If it is the same as the nettles I am familiar with these we called "yellow nettles" and they didn't sting like the regular ones.
