White Deadnettle
Doode Bemde, Belgium (Nov 2011)
20-50 cm. It is a herbaceous perennial plant with green, four-angled stems. It appears superficially similar to the Stinging nettle Urtica dioica but does not sting, hence the common name "dead nettle". The superficial likeness serves to deter rabbits and other herbivores from eating it. The flowers are white, produced in whorls ('verticillasters') on the upper part of the stem, the individual flowers 1.5-2.5 cm long.
Habitat:
Here they can be found in prairies, meadows, and woods.
"Lamium album", commonly called white nettle or white dead-nettle, is a flowering plant in the family Lamiaceae, native throughout Europe and Asia, growing in a variety of habitats from open grassland to woodland, generally on moist, fertile soils.
