Henbit is another common weed from Eurasia that occasionally makes a nuisance of itself. It is easy to identify because of the sessile orbicular leaves that appear to wrap around the sprawling stems. Other Lamium spp. (Dead Nettles) are more erect plants; their upper leaves don't wrap around the stems. Another plant that resembles Henbit somewhat is Glechoma hederacea (Ground Ivy). The leaves of Ground Ivy always have petioles, and its flowers occur in smaller clusters from the leaf axils. These flowers are violet-blue or purple and rather broad with conspicuous side lobes, while the more narrow flowers of Henbit are pink and lack such side lobes. The common name 'Henbit' refers to the seeds, which presumably can be eaten by chickens.
