−Lamium (Greek for throat, referring to the shape of the corolla). Labiatae. Dead Nettle. Annual
−and perennial herbs of the Old World, of which several run wild in this country as weeds and
−others are cultivated as hardy border plants.
−Botanically, Lamium is distinguished by a 2-lipped corolla, of which the tube is somewhat longer
−than the calyx, the upper lip ascending and concave, and the lower one 3-lobed: stamens 4, in 2
−pairs, ascending under the upper lip: fls. in axillary or terminal whorls, often rather showy: lvs.
−opposite, mostly crenatedentate and petiolate: calyx awl-toothed.—Low herbs, of some 40 species
−in Eu., N. Afr. and Asia.
−Lamiums are diffuse mostly pubescent or hairy herbs, commonly decumbent at the base and often
−almost trailing. They are of the easiest culture in any open soil. Useful for rockwork. The
−cultivated kinds are perennial, and are commonly propagated by division.
