Lepechinia
Lepechinia is a genus of plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It includes several species of plants known commonly as pitchersages (also pitcher sages).[2] Plants of this genus can be found in Central and South America, Mexico, California, the Dominican Repupublic, and Hawaii, although the species in Hawaii is probably a human introduction [3]. Many of them bear attractive pitcher-shaped flowers, often in shades of purple. The genus was named for the Russian botanist Ivan Ivanovich Lepechin. Recently, the two monotypic genera Chaunostoma and Neoeplingia were shown to be part of Lepechinia [4].
