Musk (English name) Chelonopsis moschata Miq.
A perennial herb of the Lamiaceae family that grows in mountain forests and valley grasslands (illustration). It is said to have been given this name because the whole plant has a fragrant scent. The stems grow in clumps to a length of 50-100cm, do not branch much, and often stand up at an angle. The leaves are opposite, oblong-ovate, sawtoothed, sparsely hairy, and narrow at the base, forming a slightly ear-like shape. Flowers appear in August and September, 1-3 in each leaf axil, on short stalks, 4-5cm long. The calyx is bell-shaped and swells into a slightly spherical fruit.
