description

Marrubium incanum is a perennial stem hemicryptophyte with heights of 30 to 50 centimeters and only a weak odor. The stems are densely tomentose and usually have many short, upright, purely vegetative branches. The leaves on the main stem are oblong- egg-shaped and wedge-shaped at the base. The leaf margin is serrated and serrated. The surface has sunken veins and is densely tomentose, grayish-green on the upper side of the leaf and whitish on the underside of the leaf. The 2 centimeter long petiole is shorter than the 3 × 4 centimeter blade .

The inflorescence consists of spherical, dense, 20 to 25 flowered pseudo whorls , which are in the axilla of foliage-like bracts. The bracts are subpulate , the longest are almost as long as the calyx . The calyx tube is 6.5 to 7 millimeters long, ten-ribbed and tomentose with star hair. The five calyx teeth of equal length are sub-sub, 3 to 4 millimeters long and shorter than the crown. They are initially upright and later spread out in a star shape. They are sparsely covered with star hair. The crown is 13 to 14 millimeters long, colored milk white and hairy on the outside. The corolla tube tapers evenly towards the base. The upper lip is egg-shaped and divided to a third into two lanceolate or narrow triangular lobes. The side lobes of the lower lip are almost as large as the middle lobes.

The flowering period in Italy extends from May to August.

The number of chromosomes is 2n = 34.

Distribution and locations

The area of ​​the species has its center along the coast of the Adriatic Sea . On the Apennine peninsula, the deposits are concentrated on the Adriatic side from the Marches to the Gargano , while the much rarer deposits on the Tyrrhenian side range from Tuscany to Campania . At the northern end of the Adriatic, the deposits in Veneto and Friuli are connected to the deposits on the Balkan Peninsula , which extend along the coast from Istria to Montenegro and Albania , but also penetrate far inland to Serbia and Bulgaria . The species was also found in Sicily (last time: 1925) and Sardinia ; inconsistent occurrences are also found in France .

Marrubium incanum is a limestone plant that occurs in Italy at altitudes from 0 to 1200 meters. It settles on ruderal sites and on sheep pastures.
