Parietaria floridana, commonly known as Florida pellitory, is a plant species in the family Urticaceae. It is native to the southeastern United States, the West Indies, and much of Latin America. In the United States, the heart of its range extends from Florida, to Georgia and North and South Carolina, with isolated populations reported in Mississippi, Louisiana, Texas, New Hampshire, Kentucky and Delaware. Some populations in California have in the past been referred to as P. floridana but are now regarded as a separate species, P. hespera.
