ulate and mostly glandular-aromatic, corolla mostly 2-lipped but 
sometimes nearly regular, stamens didynamous, sometimes 2 of these 
aborted or wanting. Ovary deeply l-lobed, forming a fruit of 4 
seedlike, siugle-seeded nutlets, surrounding the base of the single 
style, in the bottom of the gamosepalous calyx. Upper lip of the 
gamopetalous corolla usually 2-lobed, the lower 43-lobed. Stamens 
borne on the corolla tube; anthers mostly 2-celled but sometimes 
one of these modified and non-pollen bearing. Style usually 2- 


lobed at the summit.

MARRUBIUM VULGARE L. Sp. Pl. 5&3. 1753. 

Stems erect or ascending, leaf blades broad-ovate, petioled 
and crenate. Calyx with 10 teeth which are recurved at matur- 
ity. Waste places throughout most of North America. Natural- 
ized from Europe. Often an abundant weed on sheep ranges 
where it spreads rapidly because of the hooked calyx lobes 
which catch into the sheep wool. 

Nevada: Washoe, Lander and Storey Counties. Probably more 
abundant in the State than is indicated by the herbarium ma- 


terial available for examination.
