Prunella vulgaris var. vulgaris
Family: Lamiaceae Common Selfheal	Indiana Flora Resources From Flora of Indiana (1940) by Charles C. Deam This is the European plant and is described by Bentham as having the "stem procumbent or creeping, and rooting at the base, with ascending flowering branches, sometimes 2 or 3 inches, rarely near a foot high." Smith described a variety minor as having "stems a span high, erect or ascending, etc." Clute (Amer. Bot. 3: 10. 1902) described Prunella vulgaris var. nana as a plant of lawns, creeping and rooting at the nodes. I have found this plant an obnoxious weed in a lawn in Bluffton, Indiana. It is also well established in a lawn at 206 Wakewa St., South Bend, St. Joseph County and probably in other places throughout the state. No doubt many of our reports for this species, however, should be referred to the native variety [lanceolata]. …… Indiana Coefficient of Conservatism: C = null, non-native Wetland Indicator Status: FAC
