serrated or nearly entire downy on both sides, cal. shaggy with 
adpressed hairs and a few glandular hairs intermixed, upper lip 
of the cor. slightly notched. — E. B. 884. St. 62. 3.— Cor. purple 
variegated with crimson and white, shaggy externally. St. about 
a foot high. A variety with fl. of half the usual size is the 
G. intermedia of Reich. ! G. parviflora Lam. — In gravelly and 
sandy districts. A. VIII. IX. Red Hemp-nettle. 
3. G. Tetrahit (L.) ; st. hispid thickened below the joints, I. 
oblong-ovate acuminate serrate, cal. tubular teeth and tube nearly 
equal, tube of the cor. as long as the cal., upper lip ovate. — E. B. 
207. St. 62. 6. Tube of the cor. slender, slightly inflated. Fl. 
purplish, variegated or white. L. slightly pubescent above. — 
The continental botanists distinguish 2 plants from this, both of 
which ought to be found in Britain — 1. G. bifida (Boenningh.) 
distinguished by its bifid lower lip ; and— 2. G. pubescens (Bess.) 
by its less hispid but pubescent St., the upper part of the tube 
of the cor. purple and the 1. very pubescent. I consider both 
of these as slight varieties of G. Tetrahit, but they require exa- 
mination in a recent state. — Cultivated ground. A. VII. — IX. 
Common Hemp-nettle. 
4. G. versicolor (Curt.) ; st. hispid thickened below the joints, 
1. oblong-ovate acuminate serrate, cal. bellshaped teeth shorter 
than the tube, tube of the cor. much longer than the cal., upper lip 
roundish-oval.— E. B. 667. St. 62. 8.— Tube of the cor. inflated 
above. Fl. very large, yellow, with usually a broad purple spot 
upon the lower lip. Difficult to distinguish upon paper from 
G. Tetrahit.— Cultivated ground. A. VII. VIII. 
15. Stachys Linn. 
1. S. Betonica (Benth.) ; erect, lower 1. ovate-oblong with a 
cordate base crenate obtuse with long stalks, upper 1. oblong- 
lanceolate serrate acute sessile, bracts linear-lanceolate as long 
as the cal., whorls many-flowered condensed into an oblong 
slightly interrupted spike, cal. nearly glabrous, stam. shorter than 
the lip. — Betonica officinalis Sm. E. B. 1142. — Whorls some- 
times separated considerably. Tube of the cor. exserted. The 
English plant does not exactly agree with either of those de- 
scribed by Reichenbach having the subulate- spinous cal. -teeth 
of his B. officinalis ! and the round crenate not emarginate lower 
lip of his B. hirta ! ; and from the examination of authentic spe- 
cimens I am led to fear that the forms of the cor. represented on 
his plates are exaggerated. — Woods and thickets. P. VII. VIII. 
Betony. 
2. S. germanica (L.) ; whorls many-flowered, st. erect woolly, 
1. oblong-ovate or ovate-lanceolate with a cordate base crenate- 
serrate stalked, upper I. lanceolate acute sessile, all densely silky,
