Newf. to N. C, Pa., and Mo. Naturalized from Eurasia. 



3. L. MACULATUM L. SPOTTED DEAD NETTLE. 



Borders of gardens, roadsides, and waste places ; rare. May. 



Escaped from gardens: various places in Forest Home (D. !) ; Caroline; Ludlow - 

 ville. 



Me. and Vt. to Va. and Tenn. Native of Eurasia. 



A related species, L. album L., was found well established by the crossroad west 

 of Ellis Hollow Swamp in 1925. 



12. Stachys (Tourn.) L. 



a. Flowers yellow or cream color, 15-18 mm. long; plants annual. [S. annua] 



a. Flowers purplish, 10-13 mm. long; plants perennial. 



b. Stems glahrous on the sides, smooth or bristly on the angles ; leaves sharp- 

 toothed, the petioles 7-30 mm. long ; rootstock not tuberous. 

 c. Angles of the stem glabrous or nearly so ; leaves glabrous ; calyx teeth 

 spreading. 1. .S". tenui folia 



c. Angles of the stem reflexed-bristly ; leaves somewhat hairy; calyx teeth often 

 less spreading. la. S. tenuifolia, 



var. aspera 

 b. Stems pubescent on the sides, hirsute on the angles ; leaves crenate-serrate, hairy 

 or downy, sessile or the lower ones with short petioles 3-6 mm. long ; root- 

 stock constricted-tuberous. 2. S. palustris 



[S. annua L. 



Found in a gravelly cultivated field e. of Besemer, 1919 (K. M. W ., A. J. E., & 

 L. h\ Randolph) ; probably not established. Adventive from Eu.

1. S. tenuifolia Willd. (S. aspera, var. glabra, of Cayuga Fl.). Hedge Nettle. 



Borders of damp alluvial thickets and marshes, or on near-by cinders or gravels ; 

 rare. July-Aug.

 Thomas,, from Cayuga Lake (D.). 



N. Y. to Towa and Kans., southw. to N. C. and La. A plant of the rich soils of 

 the Mississippi Basin. 



A form transitional to var. aspera occurs at McKinneys ; perhaps such intermediate 

 material was the hasis fur Dudley's inclusion of the typical form of this species (his 

 var. glabra) In the Cayuga Flora, as no typical S. tenuifolia has been seen in recent 

 years. 



la. S. tenuifolia Willd., var. aspera (Michx.) Fernald. (S. aspera of Cayuga Fl.) 

 In locations similar to the preceding ; frequent. July-Sept. 

 Abundant on both shores of Cayuga Lake (D.\) ; near Renwick, and at the s. w.
