*Prunella vulgaris Linnaeus var. vulgaris . Eurasian Self-heal. Phen: Apr-Dec. Hab: Disturbed areas, pastures, roadsides, bottomland forests; other forests and woodlands. Dist: Native of Eurasia. Additional herbarium work is needed to clearly determine the relative ranges, distributions, habitats, and abundances of the two varieties, var. vulgaris and var. lanceolata.

Origin/Endemic status: Eurasia

Taxonomy Comments: The possible additional recognition of var. hispida also needs assessment. Var. hispida Bentham, considered to have been originally e. Asian, is alleged to be widespread in se. United States. According to Fernald (1950), it differs from P. vulgaris var. vulgaris in having the "stems, petioles, and often the lower surfaces of leaves densely villous-hispid" (vs. "only sparingly and not conspicuously pilose").
