Shrub or subshrub, evergreen, hermaphrodite, up to 1.5(1.8) m in height, erect, ramose. Stems and older branches brown-greyish, fissured longitudinally. Young branches tetragonal, sometimes very angular, green, but appearing whitish because of being covered with a dense tomentum of white hairs. Leaves (1.5-4 \u00d7 0.2-0.7 cm), very numerous (so that in young branches only the floral stem or peduncle of the spike is visible), linear or linear-lanceolate, with margin deeply crenate-dentate and revolute, obtuse, sessile, glabrescent and bright green on the upper side, villous and whitish on the underside. Inflorescence in terminal spikes \u00b1 circular in cross section, with a tuft of petaloid bracts at the top, darker than the flowers (sometimes this tuft is very small or even non-existent). Calyx ovoid-tubular, with 5 small teeth. Corolla pinkish, purplish or bluish, rarely whitish; ovoid, tubular, bilabiate, with 5 lobules open in the shape of a star. Fruit is very small and included in the persistent calyx tube.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"template":"","class_list":["post-13353","species","type-species","status-publish","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\nLavandula dentata L. - North Africa Trees<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"noindex, follow\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Lavandula dentata L. - North Africa Trees\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Shrub or subshrub, evergreen, hermaphrodite, up to 1.5(1.8) m in height, erect, ramose.
