perennial as in the last two species, but the stems are longer and less 
branched, often a foot and a half high. Leaves stalked, ovate, toothed, 
but scarcely cordate. Flowers bright yellow, in dense axillary whorls ; 
the calyx-teeth short ; the tube of the corolla scarcely longer than the 
calyx ; the upper lip long and arched ; the lateral lobes of the lower 
lip narrow, but not much smaller than the central one. Anthers 
glabrous as in some exotic species, not hairy as in the other British 
ones. (Galeobdolon luteum, Huds. ;

Herbs or undershrubs, varying much in habit; the flowers few in 
each whorl, usually turned to one side. Calyx of 5 teeth, often arranged 
in 2 lips. Corolla apparently without an upper lip; the 2 upper lobes 
forming 2 small teeth, one on each side of the base of the lower lip, 
which has thus 5 lobes, the middle one large and concave. Stamens 4, 
protruding between the 2 upper teeth of the corolla. 
A numerous genus, spread over all parts of the world, and always 
known by the shape of the corolla.
