	~~== Description ==~~		'''Teucrium scordium''', commonly known as '''water germander''', is a species of flowering plant in the [[mint family]] (Lamiaceae). It is native to Europe and parts of Asia, where it typically grows in wet habitats such as marshes and riverbanks.

	== ~~Distribution and habitat~~ ==		==Description==
	~~'''~~Teucrium scordium~~'''~~ is ~~found in wet habitats such as marshes~~, ~~fens~~, and ~~riverbanks~~. ~~It is native to Europe and Asia~~, ~~but has been introduced~~ to ~~other parts of~~ the ~~world, including North America~~.		[[File:Teucrium_scordium1_eF.jpg\|thumb\|right\|Teucrium scordium in its natural habitat]]
			Teucrium scordium is a perennial herb that can reach a height of 10 to 30 centimeters. The plant has a creeping growth habit, with stems that root at the nodes. The leaves are opposite, oblong to lanceolate, and have a serrated margin. The plant produces small, pink to purple flowers that are arranged in whorls along the stem.

	== ~~Uses~~ ==		==Habitat and Distribution==
	~~'''~~Teucrium scordium~~''' has been used~~ in ~~traditional medicine for centuries~~. It ~~is believed to have diuretic, antiseptic,~~ and ~~anti-inflammatory properties~~. ~~However, scientific evidence to support these claims~~ is ~~limited~~.		Teucrium scordium is found in a variety of wetland habitats, including marshes, fens, and along the edges of rivers and streams. It prefers calcareous soils and can often be found in areas with high moisture levels. The species is distributed across Europe and extends into parts of Asia.

	== ~~Cultivation~~ ==		==Ecology==
	~~'''~~Teucrium scordium~~''' prefers wet~~, ~~marshy conditions~~ and ~~full sun or partial shade~~. ~~It is not frost-tolerant~~ and ~~requires a well-drained soil~~.		Teucrium scordium plays a role in wetland ecosystems, providing habitat and food for various insects. The flowers are pollinated by bees and other insects, which are attracted to the plant's nectar.

	== ~~Conservation status~~ ==		==Uses==
	~~'''~~Teucrium scordium~~''' is not currently considered~~ to ~~be at risk of extinction. However~~, its ~~habitat is threatened by drainage for agriculture and urban development~~.		Historically, Teucrium scordium has been used in traditional medicine for its purported medicinal properties. It was believed to have antiseptic and anti-inflammatory effects, although its use has declined in modern times.

	== ~~See also~~ ==		==Conservation==
	* [[List of ~~Lamiaceae genera]]~~		In some regions, Teucrium scordium is considered a species of conservation concern due to habitat loss and changes in land use. Efforts to conserve wetland habitats are important for the preservation of this species.
