402 Lake Maxinkuckee, Physical and Biological Survey 



Family 127. Labiate. Mint Family 

 643. american germander; wood sage 



TEL'CRIUM CANADENSE L. 



Very common along the beach, scattered among the various 

 other beach plants, and somewhat above high-water mark. Most 

 common on the west and south sides of the lake, extending from 

 the old pumping station nearly to Norris Inlet; found also on the 

 east shore. 



644. MAD-DOG SKULLCAP 



SCUTELLARIA LATERIFLORA L. 



Scattered in moist places about the lake. Found at Long Point, 

 near Farrar's, along shore by McSheehy's and Duenweg's, near 

 Overmyer's, and on the beach beyond Norris Inlet. 



645. MARSH SKULLCAP 



SCUTELLARIA GALERICULATA L. 



Rather common in marshy places about the lake. 



646. WHITE HOARHOUND 



MARRUBIUM VULGARE L. 



Scattered in waste places. Found by Green's, and south of the 

 lake on the way to Delong. The leaves show very early in spring ; 

 probably some leaves remain green all winter. Originally a garden 

 herb, it has become a weed on rather barren slopes and thin pas- 

 tures, but never disturbs cultivated soil. 



647. CATNEP; CATNIP; CATMINT; GIANT-HYSSOP 



AGASTACHE NEPETOIDES (L.) Kuntze 



Not common. Some plants were seen on the east side along 

 the Maxinkuckee road. Occasional in open woodlands. One of 

 the largest and most robust of the mints. 



648. CATNEP; CATNIP; CATMINT 



NEPETA CATARIA L. 



Rather common, scattered ; on a bank near the railroad bridge 

 at Culver and on a hill north of the lake; common also on a hill- 

 side in Green's woods. It is rather surprising how this introduced 

 plant which has no special means of distributing its seeds (unless 

 the wind carries them while enclosed in the light dry calyx) , is now 

 to be found everywhere in the country, sometimes rather remote
