The species Lamium Maculatum, also known as Spotted Deadnettle, is a species of perennial herb in the family of Lamiaceae, native throughout Europe. This phylogeny placement specifically identifies L. maculatum in the Platae Kingdom.

One common adaptation that was observed was the addition of flowers and/or vibrant colors growing as a part of the plant. This adaptation developed centuries ago for plants to attract insects and/or pollinators, thus aiding with reproduction.

One unique adaptation observed was toothed leaves, seen in the Mollow Family. This adaptation has evolved to increase transpiration and photosynthesis within plants. Toothed leaves allow plants to grow and make food quicker due to the increase in surface area, thus increasing efficiency.
