  Urena lobata L. (Malvaceae-Malvoideae)

  Urena lobata is widely distributed in tropical and subtropical regions (POWO, 2021). In certain countries, it is commonly called Congo jute or Caesar’s weed and is listed as one of the invasive weeds that spreads fast and displaces native plants (The Florida Exotic Pest Plant Council, 2011). In Peninsular Malaysia, fortunately, such invasion has not been reported so far.
