I think the genus is Laportea but not the species canadensis. The best way to find them is to get all hot and sweaty then climb up overgrown rocky bluffs with bare arms and legs. They go well with mosquitos, spider webs, and water moccasins. I have seen lots of nettlish looking lithophytes, probably Pilea, growing on moist vertical travertine in many different places in southeast Asia. I've never heard it called petaloid travertine before, but it is as good a name as any for the drapery like forms. I believe that all the huge fast growing spleleothems that occur outside of caves throughout the moist tropics are due to preferential deposition by some sort of blue green algae. Such porous rock serves as a fine substrate for lithophytes.
