TEUCRIUM. Germanders. [Lamiaceae]

Eight species of Teucrium are recorded in Britain. These include the native Cut-leaved Germander (T. botrys), Water Germander (T. scordium), Wood Sage (T. scorodonia) and Wall Germander (T. chamaedrys).

Cut-leaved Germander (T. botrys) and Water Germander (T. scordium) are protected under Schedule 8 of the Wildlife and Countryside Act, 1981.

Only one dipterous miner, the agromyzid Amauromyza labiatarum, is recorded on Teucrium in Britain.

See STACHYS.

Elsewhere the polyphagous agromyzids Amauromyza labiatarum and Liriomyza strigata are recorded mining Teucrium.

Two non-dipterous miners are recorded on Teucrium in Britain.
