Cut-leaved Dead-nettle
Lamium hybridum Vill.
Lamium hybridum, known as Cut-leaved Dead-nettle, is a species of the genus Lamium in the Lamiaceae family. It is native to western and northern Europe and northwestern Africa. The specific name 'hybridum' suggests a possible hybrid origin, though the exact reason for the name was not specified by its describer, Dominique Villars. The plant is characterized by its deeply cut leaves, which distinguish it from other Lamium species with shallower leaf lobes.
