 Root perennial, creeping. Stem herbaceous, often throwing out 

 suckers at the base, a footer 18 inches high, quadrangular, 

 with obtuse angles, pubescent, simple, or sparingly branched. 

 Leaves subsessile, smooth, coarsely-serrate, often, as well as 

 the stem, of a purplish colour. Floivers in whorls, but less 

 crowded than in the preceding species. Calyx much shorter 

 than the corolla, segments acute, but not terminating in spines. 

 Corolla slightly punctate, white ; tube a little ventricose. Seed 

 projecting beyond the calyx when ripe. 

 Hab. In shady wet places : frequent in moist woods. August. 

 Called Bugle-weed, and of some reputation as a popular re- 

 medy in /lamofitysis and other hsemorrhages.

 Hab. In Pennsylvania. August. Muhlenb erg. A doubt- 

 ful species, perhaps a dwarf variety of L. virginicus, as that 

 plant is often very small, bearing only 2 or 3 flowers in each 

 axil, and throwing out long stolons from the base of the stem. 

 There is no specimen of this plant in Mu hi en berg's Her , 

 jiarium.
