Stachys longifolia, Benth. (Betonica orientalis, Linn.). A hardy perennial herb about 1 ft. high, densely villous: lower lvs. petioled, oblong-lanceolate, obtuse, crenate, deeply cordate at the base, 4-6 in. long; the upper lvs. similar in shape but sessile, those of the infl. bract-like: fls. reddish purple to pink, in a cylindrical, somewhat interrupted spike about 1/2 ft. long. July. Caucasus.— Briquet in Engler & Prantl's Pflanzenfamilien has adopted macrostachys as the specific name, basing his name on Betonica macrostachys, Wender, but authorities differ as to the identity of Wender's material, hence the Bentham name has been retained. ^CH The above text is from the Standard Cyclopedia of Horticulture.
