Galeopsis tetrahit (Hemp-nettle)

This vintage herbarium sheet features a richly textured specimen of Galeopsis tetrahit, commonly known as Hemp-nettle. The plant’s sharply serrated leaves, bristled stems, and softly hooded flowers are beautifully preserved, offering a captivating look at the structure of this wild member of the mint family.

Handwritten French notes identify the specimen as Galeopsis Tetrahit, with its family, Labiées (Lamiaceae), noted below. Each leaf and blossom is secured with its original strips of mounting tape, and the gentle wear of age on both paper and plant gives the entire page its warm, archival character.

This one-of-a-kind botanical brings a bold, textured presence and pairs beautifully with other meadow and woodland species from the Herbier de Provence collection.
