Description
Teucrium betchei is a perennial herb that typically grows to a height of 0.4–1 m (1 ft 4 in – 3 ft 3 in) and has rod-like stems that are square in cross-section. The leaves are arranged in opposite pairs, linear to very narrow lance-shaped, 10–40 mm (0.39–1.57 in) long, 1–4 mm (0.039–0.157 in) wide and more or less sessile. The flowers are mostly arranged in groups of three to five in upper leaf axils, each flower on a pedicel 1–3 mm (0.039–0.118 in) long. The five sepals are 4–6 mm (0.16–0.24 in) long, joined at the base for about half their length. The petals are white, the lower middle lobe 1–1.5 mm (0.039–0.059 in) long. Flowering mainly occurs in summer.

Teucrium betchei grows in grassy woodland and on disturbed sites, mainly on the North West Slopes of New South Wales and the Darling Downs of south-eastern Queensland.
