'''''Teucrium''''' is a [[genus]] of [[perennial plant]]s, of the [[family (biology)|family]] [[Lamiaceae]]. Common names for this genus include '''germanders'''. These [[species]] are [[herb]]s, [[shrub]]s or [[subshrub]]s. They are most common in [[Mediterranean climate]]s.
An unusual feature of this genus compared with other members of [[Lamiaceae]] is that the flowers completely lack the upper lip of the [[Corolla (flower)|corolla]], although it is somewhat reduced also in other genera (''[[Ajuga]]'' among them).
''Teucrium'' species are rich in [[essential oil]]s. They are valued as [[ornamental plant]]s and [[pollen source]], and some species have culinary and/or medical value.
