Wedd. and &lt;em&gt;Laportea&lt;/em&gt; stimulans (L.f.) Miq. (Urticaceae) or itchy leaves are endogenous plants from The Maluku Islands, Indonesia, which are used topically as analgesics by local people.&lt;strong&gt; Objective&lt;/strong&gt;: As part of a preliminary investigation on the itchy leaves, this study was conducted to provide information on their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, phytochemical profiles, and bioactivities according to the ethnomedicinal usages. &lt;strong&gt;Materials and Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;The macroscopic examination was carried out on fresh leaves. The microscopic examination was carried out on leaf powder under a light microscope. The phytochemical analyses using TLC were conducted on those crude extracts and fractions. The bioactivity assays were conducted&lt;em&gt; in vitro&lt;/em&gt; as Cox-2 inhibitory and DPPH radical scavenging activities. Results: reveal similar characteristics in the macroscopic and microscopic properties of both &lt;em&gt;Laportea &lt;/em&gt;spp. leaves. Calcium oxalate crystals were observed in&lt;em&gt; L. decumana&lt;/em&gt; but not found in &lt;em&gt;L. stimulans.&lt;/em&gt; Both species have stomata with anisocytic type. More trichomes are found in the leaves of&lt;em&gt; L. decumana,&lt;/em&gt; yet smaller and easily detachable. TLC analyses exhibited slightly different profiles. The crude extracts and fractions at 10 μg/ml showed similar inhibitory percentages on Cox-2. The DPPH scavenging activities of the crude extracts and fractions of&lt;em&gt; L. decumana &lt;/em&gt;showed active moderate activity with an IC50 value &amp;lt; 250 μg/ml, while those of &lt;em&gt;L. stimulans&lt;/em&gt; showed moderate to weak potency with an IC50 value &amp;lt; 500 μg/ml. &lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;Further exploration on Laportea spp. pharmacological activity is recommended to provide stronger evidence for its ethnomedicinal usage.&lt;/p&gt;
