Next time you feel the sharp sting of a nettle (Urtica), think of its fascinating stinging microhairs - here around 150–200 µm in length - with irritating chemicals stored in their bulbous heads. The study study investigates plant silica bodies (phytoliths), including these microhairs and other morphotypes, of extant dicotyledons prevalent in North-Western Europe, establishing a baseline for botanical, archaeobotanical, and palaeoecological research.
