Lycopus lucidus,
a perennial herb about 1m tall, grows in wetlands with white
rhizomes. Stems are thick, with nodes with some white hairs, and the
whole, exclusive of the nodes, is glabrous. The dense leaves are
alternate, 6-13cm long and 1.5-4cm wide, broadly lanceolate, with
coarse serrations on their margins. Axils produce many orderly,
small, white, labiate flowers. Corollas measure about 5mm long, and
the lower lips are more significant than the upper. Calyxes are
cleft halfway in five, and the lobes are spiny with sharply pointed
tips. Stamens are 2 in number. Bloom time: August-October. |
