(Stems smooth, branched at the bottom, naked about the middle, thickly set 
with leaves at the top. E.) Flowers six in the bosom of each leaf, in a 
double row. Calyx awned, fringed. Lyons. Leaves serrated, downy, 
but not rough; the ends often purplish, and pointing downwards. Bios - 
som , lower border of the mouth whitish with purple streaks ; the rest pale 
red, sometimes nearly white. 
(A variety is recorded with leaves entire at the margins. E.) 
Red Dead-nettle or Archangel. Dee-nettle. (Welsh: Mardda - 
nadlengbch; Danadlenfarw gbch. E.) Rubbish, corn-fields, and kitchen 
gardens. A. April—Sept.f 
L. (inci'sum. E.) Leaves deeply and irregularly cut: stem-leaves ex¬ 
tending down the leaf-stalks : (interior of the blossom naked at 
the base. E.) 
(E. Bot. 1933. E.)—Pet. 33. 3 —Pluk. 41. 3. 
(Resembling the last in habit. E.) Leaves deeply cut, almost lobed, taper¬ 
ing down into leaf-stalks. Mr. Robson introduced it into his garden, 
where it shed its seeds, and propagated itself three or four times, and 
all the plants have been of the same kind. It flowers and ripens its 
seeds, and these seeds produce others twice in the summer. Both this 
and the preceding are common about Darlington, often growing together ; 
we may therefore conclude that the difference is not owing to soil and 
situation. 
* (The different species of Lamium y especially the White Archangel, are particularly 
acceptable to bees, and ought to be encouraged in the precincts of the apiary. E.) 
t (Even this humble weed is not without its antagonist in the animal creation ; for the 
chaffinch (Fringilla Calebs') defforates entire whorls of its early crimson blossoms while feed¬ 
ing on the seeds, though in an unripe state. The family of Prirnula } and probably other 
spring flowers, suffer in like manner. E.)
