White Dead Nettle

(Lamium album), a perennial herb of the family Labiatae. It resembles nettle in the shape of its leaves but has no stinging hairs. The blossoms are white and are arranged in verticillasters. It grows in the temperate zone of the northern hemisphere. In the USSR it is found almost everywhere as a weed (in orchards, gardens, and near fences), more rarely, in brush and forests. The blossoms and leaves contain mucilage, tannins, saponin, and ascorbic acid. It is a good nectar bearer.
