Mad-dog skullcap flower racemes may arise at the tips of the stems or from the axils of leaves. Each raceme is up to 6" long, containing 6-7 pairs of flowers; each flower has a short, basal leafy bract. Flowers are up to 8 mm long with a short, slender pedicel, a light green tubular calyx with two shallow lobes (the upper lobe with a dish-like projection), and a pale blue, lavender, or white, densely hairy, tubular corolla 5-8 mm long with a short, hood-like, upper lip and a slightly flared, three-lobed lower lip. Hidden inside the upper lip of the corolla are four stamens and a single bifurcated style. After fertilization, the calyx swells into a green capsule with includes the dish-like projection mentioned above, giving the capsule a unique appearance; inside is a cluster of four nutlets. The mouth of the calyx is visible as a thin slit beneath the projection.

About

I want to acknowledge the work of a friend and colleague, Dr. Fred Donner. We both share a passion for the flowers in Jackson Park. Fred's website (jacksonparkwildflowers.org) inspired me to build my own website and database; use and enjoy them both.

I am also pleased to thank my ninja web gurus and coders, Lindsey Young and Stefanie Engstrom. This site would not exist without their herculean labors.
