8. Scutellaria Linn. 
1. S. galericulata (L.) ; 1. shortly stalked all oblong-lanceolate 
cordate below crenate-serrate, fl. axillary opposite secund, calyx 
without glands. — E. B. 523. — Cor. large, blue. St. 6—12 in. 
high, stout. Distinguished from S. hastifolia by wanting the 
glandular hairs on the calyx, although that part is downy, and 
the different shape of the leaves. This genus is remarkable for 
being provided with a curved elongated support (carpophore) to 
its nuts. — Banks of rivers and ditches. P. VII. VIII. Common 
Skull-cap. 
2. S. minor (L.) ; 1. shortly stalked, lower 1. broadly ovate, 
intermediate ovate-lanceolate with the base cordate, upper 1. 
lanceolate with a rounded base, fl. axillary opposite secund, cal. 
pubescent. — E. B. 524. — Cor. small. St. 4 — 8 in. high, slender. 
— Moist heaths and boggy places. P. VII. — IX. Lesser 
Skull-cap. 
9. Prunella Linn. 
1. P. vulgaris (L.) ; 1. stalked oblong-ovate obtuse, upper lip 
of the cal. with short truncate mucronate teeth, lower lip with 
ovate-lanceolate mucronate teeth, longer stam. with a straight 
spinous tooth at their apex. — E. B. 961. — In all the British 
specimens that I have seen the 1. are nearly entire ; on continental 
specimens they are sometimes pinnatifid. Fl. blue, rarely white, 
whorled, crowded into a dense spike, with 2 broad obcordate 
acuminate bracts under each whorl. Cal. reddish-purple. — In 
damp pastures. P. VII. VIII. Self-heal. E. S.

stalked spiked, nuts smooth and glabrous. — E. B. 137. — Fl. 
white. St. 2 — 3 feet high, downy or mealy. Stam. at length 
curved outwards. — Waste places. P. VII. VIII. Cat-mint. — E.I.
