LXIII. LABIATiE. 
\_Ly copus. 
A. Stamens 2. (Gen. 1, 2.) 
1. Lycopus Linn. Gipsy-wort. 
Cal. tubular, 5-cleft. Cor. tubular : limb nearly equal, 4- 
cleft, upper segments broader and notched. Slam. 2, diverging, 
simple, with sometimes 2 sterile ones. — Name: from Xvkoc, a 
wolf, and —ovc, a foot; from a fancied resemblance in the cut 
leaves of this plant to a wolf’s paw : der Wolfsfuss , in German ; 
in English, gipsy-wort, because the plant yields a black dye 
which is employed by gipsies to render their skins darker. 
1. L. Europce'us L. ( common G .) ; leaves deeply and irregu- 
larly pinnatifid-serrate, rudiments of the sterile stamens minute, 
achenes about as long as the calyx-tube. E. B. t. 1105. 
Ditches and river banks; less frequent in Scotland. If.. 6 — 9. — 
Stems 2 ft. high. Leaves opposite, nearly sessile, ovato-lanceolate, 
wrinkled, very deeply sinuato-serrate, almost pinnatifid. Flowers 
small, sessile, in dense whorls at the base of the superior leaves, 
whitish with purple dots, hairy within. 
2. Salvia Linn. Sage or Clary. 
Cal. 2-lipped, tubular. Cor. labiate; the tube dilated up- 
wards and compressed. Stam. 2. Filaments with 2 divaricat- 
ing branches, 1 only bearing a perfect, single cell of an anther. 
— Named from salvo to save, or heal; in allusion to its balmy 
or healing qualities. 
1. S. *pratensish. ( Meadow C., or S.) ; root-leaves oblong- 
ovate cordate at the base irregularly crenate stalked, those of 
the stem few sessile, uppermost lanceolate acuminate, bracteas 
cordate-ovate acuminate shorter than the calyx, corolla thrice 
as long as the calyx glandular and viscid at the summit. E. B. 
t. 153. 
Dry meadows and about hedges, England, rare : near Cobham, 
Kent; Middleton Stoney, Oxfordshire. If.. 6, 7. — Stem varying 
from 6 inches to 2 feet high. 
2. S. Verbendca L. (wild English C., or S.) ; leaves broadly 
ovate or oblong crenate, lower ones long-stalked, upper ones 
broader sessile semiamplexicaul, bracteas cordate-ovate acu- 
minate about as long as the calyx, tube of the corolla much 
narrower and scarcely longer than the calyx. E. B. t. 154. 
Dry pastures and banks, especially in a chalky or gravelly soil ; not 
uncommon in England, but in Scotland only found about Edinburgh. 
V. . 5 — 8 Stems one to two feet high. Lower leaves petiolate, 
ovate, scarcely cordate at the base ; upper ones sessile and acute, less 
lobed, but more serrate ; all wrinkled with veins. Bracteas 2 under 
each whorl of flowers, cordate, acute, entire, ciliate. Cal. hairy, 
segments mucronate. Cor. small in proportion to the calyx, purple ; 
zipper lip concave compressed.
