360 THE LABIATE FAMILY, [Lamium. 
Russian Asia, except the extreme north. Extends all over Britain, although 
becoming rare in the Scotch Highlands, 1. the whole season. The leaves 
are occasionally marked by a white line or spot in the centre, but less fre- 
quently so than in the following species. 
4, %. maculatum, Linn. (fig. 811). Spotted Lamium.—Closely 
resembles L. album in every respect except in the colour of the flower, 
which is purple-red instead of white, and in the ring of hairs in the tube of 
the corolla, which is transverse instead of oblique. The leaves are also 
more frequently marked in the centre with a broad white line or spot. It 
is still very doubtful whether it may not be a mere variety of LZ. album, 
with which I had formerly united it. 
With nearly the same geographical range as L. album, it is, however, 
rather more southern. In Britain it is rare, and only introduced, as it has 
long been cultivated in cottage gardens, and spreads readily by its offsets.

5, GL. Galeobdolon, Crantz. (fig. 812). Yellow Lamium, Yellow Arch- 
angel.—Stock perennial as in the last two species, but the stems are longex 
and less branched, often a foot andahalf 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. 
In woods and shady places, in Europe and western Asia, extending 
northwards into southern Scandinavia. Not uncommon, but local in 
England and the east of Ireland, but found in Scotland. #7. spring and 
early summer.

XVIL TEUCRIUM. GERMANDER. 
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 form- 
ing 2 small teeth, one on each side of the base of the lower lip, which has 
thus 5 Icbes, the middle one large and concave. Stamens 4, protruding 
between the two upper teeth of the corolla. 
A numerous genus, spread over all parts of the world, and always known 
by the shape of the corolla. 2
