FLOWERS: pedicellate; calyx actinomorphic or zygomorphic, enlarging slightly in fruit, the teeth or lobes with acuminate apices; corolla zygomorphic, 5 lobed, not bilabiate due to deeply lobed upper lip, the tube included or slightly exserted; stamens 4, exserted, the anther sacs strongly divaricate with none abortive; ovary sessile, lobed in upper 2 2/3; stigma mostly evenly 2 lobed. NUTLETS: obovoid, pubescent or glabrous, roughened. x = 5, 8, 13. NOTES: Ca. 300 spp., temperate areas world wide. (Name from Dioscorides, apparently for Teucer, the first King of Troy).

Vascular plants of NE US and adjacent Canada
Cal campanulate, 10-nerved, slightly oblique at the throat, with 5 scarcely to evidently unequal teeth; cor seemingly 1-lipped, the upper lip represented only by its 2 lobes, which are separated and displaced so as to arise from the lateral margins of the well developed, declined, otherwise 3-lobed lower lip, of which the central lobe is much the largest; stamens 4, exserted, the lower pair the longer; ovary merely 4-lobed, the style terminal, the nutlets laterally attached and almost completely united. 100, cosmop.
