description

Marrubium cylleneum is a perennial , herbaceous plant and reaches heights of up to 30 centimeters. The hair of the plant consists of yellowish trichomes . The stems are hairy, woolly and tomentose, unbranched or have a few short, non-flowering branches. The leaves are broadly obverse to rounded. The leaf stalks are shorter than the leaf blades .

The inflorescence consists of spherical, multi-flowered pseudo whorls. The bracts are subpulate and shorter than the calyx tube . The calyx tube is 5 to 6.5 mm long and ten-ribbed. The calyx teeth are a quarter to a third as long as the calyx tube and are significantly less hairy than in the similar species Marrubium thessalum . The crown is yellowish in color. The corolla tube is suddenly constricted below the middle. The upper lip is elongated and divided up to a third or half into two spatula-shaped lobes. The side lobes of the lower lip are significantly smaller than the middle lobes.

The flowering period extends from June to August.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 22.
