Teucrium sect. Scordium

Teucrium melissoides Boiss. & Hausskn. ex Boissier (1879: 813) and T. scordium subsp. scordioides ( Schreber 1774: 37) Arcangeli (1884: 559) were examined. The nutlets’ ornamentations are alveolate. T. melissoides has B and F 2 type hairs on the nutlets and A1, B and F 2 type hairs on the leaves. T. scordium subsp. scordioides has B type hair on the nutlets and A2, B and F 5 type hairs on the leaves ( Figs. 1 , 4 and Table 2).
