Catnip tea once had a place among domestic reme- dies for children. Ground Ivy, Gill-over-the-ground, Nepeta glechdma, has es- caped from cultivation and may be found on roadsides and lawns. It clings to the ground and makes a dense mat, sending out its long, creeping stems to possess the land. The leaves are roundish and dentate. The flowers small, blue, two-lipped, in few-flowered axillary whorls. An excellent cover plant, but frequently out of bounds. Dead-nettle, Limium maculatum, a perennial labiate, often used as a border plant, has sparingly escaped to the fields. The leaves are roundish, dentate, frequently marked with a white , spot; the flowers two-lipped, purplish, and borne in the axils of the leaves. Three other species are found as weeds in cultivated grounds: Lamium dlbum, with white flowers, and Lamium purpiireum and Lamium amplexicdule, both with small purple flowers. Hedge-nettle, Sthchys lanhta, an erect tufted plant, stem and leaves covered with thick and silvery-white wool, is frequently used as an edging plant. It comes to us from Ground Ivy.
