Stem branching near the base, perennial, creeping, square, pubescent 
along the angles, hairy at the summit. Leaves ovate, a little denticulate 
near the base, a little hairy, particularly along the margin, on long hairy 
petioles. Flowers in cylindrical, compact spikes, axillary and terminal, a 
pair of leaves at the base of each spike. Bracteas reniform, rounded, 
fringed, and coloured on the margin. Calyx hairy on the angles and along 
the margin of the teeth and of the upper lip. The upper lip 3-awned. 
The teeth of the lower lip very acute and just as long as the upper. Co- 
rolla, rather more than twice as long as the calyx, violet, varying* some- 
times more deeply coloured. The upper lip rounded and emarginate, the 
lower 3-lobed and minutely toothed. Filaments shorter than the corolla, 
forked at the summit, .bearing an anther upon one fork. Style about as 
long as the stamens. Stigmas 2 acute. 
Our plant appears to be but a variety of the P. Vulgaris, it is 
however very much diffused and is found with us generally in woods and 
not around habitations. 
Grows in stiff clay soils.
