Type:― FRANCE. Monspelii versus mare & stagna, â Manguio, Perauls, Lattes, Gouan (holo: K!).

Description:―Suffrutescent perennial herb with basal sterile rosettes. Flowering stems decumbent, simple or branched, 5‒35 cm, retrorsely adpressed hirsute. Basal leaves ovate to ovate-oblong or oblong-elliptic, 0.5‒3.5 × 0.4‒1.8 cm, crenate at margin, subcordate to cuneate at base, obtuse at apex, adpressed hirsute on both surfaces, prominently veined; petiole 0.7‒5 cm. Cauline leaves ovate-lanceolate to oblanceolate, 0.7‒3 × 0.4‒1.5 cm, weakly crenate to subentire at margin, subobtuse at apex, adpressed hirsute on both surfaces, prominently veined; long-petiolate (3 cm) to subsessile. Floral leaves oblong-lanceolate, 0.5‒1.8 cm, subsessile to sessile, adpressed hirsute, prominently veined, gradually becoming smaller than verticillasters. Verticillasters 4‒10, usually approximate for most part, 1‒3 remote below, 1‒2.2 cm distant, 3‒6(‒8)-flowered. Bracteoles few, setaceous, 1‒2.5 mm. Pedicels 0.7‒1.5 mm. Calyx sub-bilabiate, tubular to subcampanulate, ± gibbous at base in fruit, 6‒9 mm, densely hirsute with sessile glands; teeth subequal, triangular, erect to subpatent in fruit, about half the length of tube, 2–3 mm, mucronate at tip (mucro 0.7‒1 mm). Corolla pale yellow with purple streaks and spots inside, 13‒15 mm, tube subexserted, annulate, saccate towards base, adpressed hirsute; limb bilabiate, upper lip 4‒5 mm, slightly shorter than the lower, emarginate, lower lip 3-lobed, middle lobe largest and broadly rounded, ca. 7 mm. Stamens 4, exserted more than half-way along upper corolla lip. Nutlets broadly obovoid, faintly trigonous, slightly winged near base, 2.5‒2.8 × 1.6‒2.2 mm, minutely reticulate-foveate, blackish-brown.

Phenology: ―Flowering between May and August.

Distribution and ecology: ―Southern Europe ( Spain, France, Corsica, Italy, Albania, Jugoslavia, Bulgaria), Caucasia, Black Sea coast and Turkey (northwest Anatolia). Mediterranean element. Maritime sands, dunes. 0–15 m elevation.

Conservation status: ―VU [Criteria B2ab(i,ii,iv)] ( IUCN, 2017). This species occurs in no more than 10 localities, with an estimated area of occupancy smaller than 2000 km ². The habitat of the species is threatened by human activities (tourism).

Remarks: ― Stachys maritima is very close to S. annua . It is constantly perennial and differs from the latter in having shorter calyx teeth (2‒3 mm), approximate verticillasters and larger nutlets (2.5‒2.8 × 1.6‒2.2 mm).
