Scutellaria lateriflora L. 



Frequent or rather common in wet places. In full flower 

 September 6, 1904. 

 Scutellaria galericulata L. 



Common In boggy places and along pond shores. First 

 flowers June 22, 1910; in full flower June 28, 1912, and in early 

 September, 1904; no flowers left September 11, 1907. 

 Marrubium vulgare L. 



Occasional by street sides and In waste places; abundant in 

 the jail yard; Monomoy farm; one cluster at Madequecham 

 Pond. In full flower June 16, 1908, June 16, 1910. 

 Nepeta C atari a L. 



The familiar catnip may be seen in cultivation in old Nantucket 

 gardens, but is rather scarce as a wild plant. It springs up as a 

 casual weed in the town and is found sparingly in waste places 

 and farmyards in the suburbs ; seen at one farmyard in Madequet. 

 At one spot in Pocomo it grew in abundance far from any dwelling 

 but where evidently a small house had stood many years before. 

 No flower buds up to June 15, 1908; not yet in flower June 29, 

 1912; in full flower July 10, 1912, and through September. 

 Glecoma hederacea L. 



Established at a few places In the town and suburbs. In full 

 flower June 7, 1908, June 9, 1911. 

 * Prunella vulgaris L. 



Occasional on lawns in the town; evidently introduced, 

 probably with grass seed. 

 Prunella pennsylvanica Willd. 



Meadows, fields and roadsides. I have never anywhere seen 

 it more abundant or more brightly conspicuous when at its 

 height of bloom. First flowers June 7, 1908, June 9, 1909, June 9, 

 1911, June 16, 1910; still in bloom late in September. 

 Galeopsis Ladanum L. 



This hemp nettle is noted from Squam in Mrs. Owen's cata- 

 logue, wherein also the name Galeopsis Tetrakit L. appears, but 

 without mention of any locality. Nothing further is known of 

 either species as a Nantucket plant.
