Teucrium
''Teucrium'' is a genus of perennial plants in the family Lamiaceae. The name is believed to refer to King Teucer of Troy. Members of the genus are commonly known as germanders. There are hundreds of species, including herbs, shrubs or subshrubs. They are found all over the world but are most common in Mediterranean climates.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 17 Page 56 香科科属 xiang ke ke shu ''Teucrium'' Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 2: 562. 1753. )〕〔(Altervista Flora Italiana, genere Teucrium ) includes photos plus range maps for Europe + North America〕〔(Biota of North America Program 2013 county distribution maps )〕
An unusual feature of this genus compared with other members of Lamiaceae is that the flowers completely lack the upper lip of the corolla, although it is somewhat reduced also in other genera (''Ajuga'' among them).
Several species are used as food plants by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species including the ''Coleophora'' case-bearers ''Coleophora auricella'' and ''Coleophora chamaedriella''. The latter is only known from Wall Germander (''T. chamaedrys'').
''Teucrium'' species are rich in essential oils. They are valued as ornamental plants and a pollen source, and some species have culinary and/or medical value.
