perennial 20-50cm in height, occurs on roadsides, fields, and
mountains. Leaves are opposite; they are so-called imparipinnate
compound leaves with 3-7 lobes. The leaflets, 2-5cm long, are in the
shape of a broad oval. The stem tops emerge 10-25cm-long spikes, in
which small, blue-purple, labiate flowers bloom in whorls. Bloom
