Pipturus argenteus, known as false stinger, native mulberry, white mulberry, white nettle, amahatyan (Chamorro), and ghasooso (Carolinian), is a small tree native to tropical Asia, northern and eastern Australia and the Pacific.[1][2][3]
Unlike many members of its family, this species does not sting.[4] It has been used traditionally for medicine and for making rope.[2][5]
