Lamium hybridum, an originating-in-Europe perennial,
occurs on roadsides or in cultivated fields. Stems, with a
cross-section of a square, branch well at bases, stand erect or
diagonally upward and grow to as tall as 30cm. Leaves are opposite,
broadly ovate, and heart-shaped at headquarters, with sharp
serrations cut in anew. Blades are somewhat crepey with sparse hair
and long petioles on the stem's lower part leaves. Close to stem top
portions bear inflorescences and set about 1.5cm light red-purple
labiate flowers; corollas comprise upper and lower, and tubular
parts rise, with long, dense hairs. Bloom time: April-May. |
