 cut-leaved dead-nettle / Lamium hybridum: _Lamium hybridum_ is very similar to _Lamium purpureum_, but has more deeply incised leaves (> 2 mm).

Lamium hybridum is tetraploid, probably resulting from ancient hybridisation between two diploids, Lamium purpureum and the Iberian Lamium gevorense (formerly included in Lamium bifidum).
