I.C. Hedge
Differing from the previous species in the eglandular indumentum, the oblong to oblong-lanceolate crenulate leaves, the lower leaves very shortly petiolate, the upper sessile, and the absence of a foetid smell. The calyces and corollas are similar in structure to Stachys sylvatica but the flower colour is dull purple in Stachys palusnis.
Type: Europe (LINN 736/2 - microfiche!).
Distribution temperate Eurasia, N. America.
I have no record of this species in our area, except the Blatter reference (l. c.) and Thomson 1848 gathering cited above; it is surprising that it has apparently not been found since. It usually grows at streamsides or marshy places.
