 broad, entire or toothed. Flowers in axillary cymes. Calyx nearly regular, 

 the lobes shorter than the tube. Corolla 2-lipped: upper lip erect: lower lip 

 3-lobed. Stamens 2, long-exserted. 



1. C. origanoides (L.) Britton. Stem 2-4 dm. tall, wiry: leaf -blades ovate to 

 ovate-lanceolate, 1.5-2.5 cm. long, serrate: calyx 2-2.5 mm. long; lobes ovate 

 to deltoid : corolla purplish, 4-5 mm. long. N. S. Common, in woods and 

 thickets, and on open hillsides. Sandstones and shales, schists. Sum. 

 DITTANY. 



25. LYCOPUS [Tourn.] L. Perennial, erect or creeping, often stolon- 

 iferous herbs. Leaf -blades entire, toothed, or pinnatifid. Flowers in dense 

 axillary cymes. Calyx regular or nearly so: lobes longer than the tube or 

 shorter. Corolla slightly 2-lipped: upper lip notched: lower lip nearly equally 

 3-lobed. Stamens 2. Sum. BUGLE-WEED. WATER-HOARHOUND. 



Corolla much longer than the calyx : blades of the lower leaves not pinnatifid. 



Calyx-lobes much shorter than the tube, obtuse or merely acute : nutlets longer 



than the calyx-lobes. 

 Style included : middle lobe of the lower lip of the corolla scarcely wider 



than the lateral ones. 1. L. virginicus. 



Style exserted : middle lobe of the lower lip of the 



corolla much wider than the lateral ones. 

 Leaves with very short or obsolete petioles ; blades 



thick or firm. 2. L. uniflorus. 



Leaves with slender petioles ; blades thin. 3. L. membranaceus. 



Calyx-lobes as long as the tube or longer, acuminate : 



nutlets shorter than the calyx-lobes. 4. L. sessilifolius. 



Corolla scarcely, if at all, longer than the calyx : blades of 



the lower leaves pinnatifid. 5. L. americanus. 



1. L. virginicus L. Stems 1-8 dm. tall, purplish or greenish-purple, obtuse- 

 angled, not tuberous at the base, but with tuber-bearing stolons: leaf -blades 

 ovate to oblong-ovate or elliptic, 2-14 cm. long, coarsely toothed, manifestly 

 petioled: calyx about 2 mm. long; lobes narrow. Common, in pastures and 

 rather moist soil. 



2. L. uniflorus Michx. Stems 1-8 dm. tall, green or sometimes purplish, 

 sharp-angled, tuberous at the base, the stolons rarely tuber-bearing: leaf- 

 blades oblong to oblong-lanceolate, 2-8 cm. long, serrate, sessile or nearly so: 

 calyx about 1.5 mm. long; lobes wide. [L. communis Bicknell.] S. Occa- 

 sional, in thickets along the Pequea Creek. Schists. 



3. L. membranaceus Bicknell. Stems 2-9 dm. tall, mostly green, often blunt- 

 angled, tuberous at the base, the stolons wanting or sparingly developed: leaf- 

 blades lanceolate, oblong-lanceolate, or ovate-lanceolate, 4-11 cm. long, sharply 

 serrate, decidedly petioled : calyx 1.5-2 mm. long ; lobes rather broad. S. 

 Occasional, in moist thickets. Schists.
