LABIATE.

With nearly the same geographical 

 range as the white L., it is, however, 

 rather more southern. In Britain it is 

 rare, and perhaps only introduced, as it 

 has been long cultivated in cottage gar- 

 dens, and spreads readily by its offsets. 

 Fl. summer.

Stock perennial as in the last two, but 

 the stems are longer and less branched, 

 often a foot and a half high. Leaves 

 stalked, ovate, toothed, but scarcely cor- 

 date. 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. 



In woods and shady places, in Europe 

 and western Asia, extending northwards 

 into southern Scandinavia. Not un- 

 common in England and Ireland, but 

 rare, if really indigenous, in Scotland. 

 Fl. spring and early summer.
