Prunella vulgaris subsp. lanceolata (syn. Prunella vulgaris var. elongata).A member of the mint family, the species is thought to be nearly cosmopolitan in its distribution. Plants native to North America however are recognized as a separate subspecies (some sources indicate it is an introduced species in the Intermountain West, but that is not the case unless one is referring to Prunella vulgaris subsp. vulgaris which was introduced from Europe and has been naturalized in some of the same range.).Subsp. lanceolata is a more upright plant with narrower mid-stem leaves as compared to subsp. vulgaris.Sept. 20, 2014, approx. 6,875 ft. elev., Mt. Aire trail, MillCreek Canyon, Salt Lake County, Utah growing along and also near creek drainage in a single area, with mosses and liverworts along the creek. Pictures above show it in both habitats.
