Melittis (from Greek melilla, melissa, a bee). Labiatae. One perennial herb in Cent, and S. Eu. and W. Asia, useful for hardy borders. Technically it differs from the long-fld, species of Stachys by its large usually 3-lobed calyx and axillary fls. M. Melissophyllum, Linn. (M. grandiflora, Smith), has nearly simple sts. 12-18 in. high, erect, slightly hairy: lvs. cordate-ovate, dentate: fls. large, 2-6 together in axillary whorls, shorter than the lvs., pink and variously variegated; corolla 1-2 in. long, the tube broad, the upper lip erect or reflexed, the lower lip spreading and 3-lobed; stamens 4, in pairs.
