Lance Selfheal - Prunella vulgaris lanceolata

The flowers grow from a square-shaped, whirled cluster. Below this club are a pair of leaves that stand out on either side. The flowers are two-lipped and tubular. The top lip is purple and the bottom lip is often white with three lobes (with the middle lobe being larger).

This may be var. lanceolata (I added it to the database because it is the Self-heal native to the US)?
