Seedr-time: August to November. Range: Newfoundland to the Northwest Territory, southward to New York, Michigan, and Illinois; in the Rocky Mountains to New Mexico. Also native to Europe and Asia. Habitat: Damp grasslands and bor- ders of streams. A coarse weed, the stem one to four feet tall, stout, erect, square, the angles bristling with stiff, downward- pointing hairs.

Leaves thick, oblong to lance-shaped, rounded or heart- shaped at the base, rough-hairy, coarsely saw-toothed, sessile or with very short petioles. Flowers in ter- minal interrupted spikes, in whorls of six to ten with small leafy bracts below; calyx bristly-hairy, its awl- like teeth more than half as long as the tube of the corolla, which is more than a half-inch in length, the lips pink or pale purple, spotted with deeper purple; the upper lip concave and bearded outside, the unequal.
