'''Wall germander''' (''Teucrium chamaedrys'') is a [[species]] of [[ornamental plant]] native to Europe and the Near East. It was historically used as a [[medicinal herb]] for the treatment of [[gout]] and sometimes as a component of [[Venice treacle]].
Wall germander is a creeping evergreen perennial 6 to 18 inches in height. Its scalloped, opposite leaves are 1/2 - 1 1/2 inches long, dark green, and shiny. In late summer, tubular flowers grow in whorls from the leaf axils.
