Lamium amplexicaule, commonly known as henbit dead-nettle, [2] is a species of Lamium native to the Old World. The specific name refers to the leaves, which are amplexicaul (clasping the stem). Description
Lamium maculatum is a prostrate, spreading herbaceous perennial. [4] This species is very variable in terms of leaf size and shape, hairiness and flower colours. It reaches on average 20–80 centimetres (7.9–31.5 in) in height.
The common name "dead-nettle" has been derived from the German Taubnessel ("deaf nettle", or "nettle without a kernel"), [11] and refers to the resemblance of Lamium album [12] to the very distantly related stinging nettles, but unlike those, they do not have stinging hairs and so are harmless or apparently "dead".
