Stem leaves crenate, dentate, or serrate. 

 Inflorescence and lower surface of leaves covered with fine white down.

,„,,., _. 9. S, serrata. 



1. Scutellaria nervosa Pursh. 



Woods and thickets, probably throughout the region. May-June. Eastern N.

3. Scutellaria lateriflora L. Mad-dog skullcap. 

 Usually in wet places; chiefly east and south of Washington. July-Sept. Widely 



distributed in N. Amer. 



4. Scutellaria saxatilis Ridd. 



Known only from the rocky wooded banks of the upper Potomac, where it is not 

 rare. June-Aug. Del. to Ohio and S. C. 

 The thin heart-shaped stem leaves on slender petioles are a marked character. 



5. Scutellaria ovata Hill. 



Rocky woods; rare; Difficult Run and Great Falls. June. Southern states, north to 

 Pa. (S, versicolor Nutt. ; S. cordifolia Muhl.) 



6. Scutellaria integrifolia L.

8. Scutellaria ovalifolia Pers. 



Perhaps our commonest skullcap, particularly above the fall line. May-July. East-

The rather distant, nearly ovate leaves on nearly simple stems form a ready mark of

Fairly common in woods above the fall line. May- June. Eastern U. S. 

 The handsomest labiate of this region; the large blue and white flowers and bright

Waste places. June-Aug. Native of Eur. and Asia; widely naturalized in N.
