Dracocephalum rupestre
Dracocephalum rupestre is a plant species in the genus Dracocephalum, endemic to China. The specific epithet, "rupestre", is derived from Latin, and pertains to the plant growing among rocks.
The habitats of Dracocephalum rupestre are mountain meadows and slopes, or areas of thinning forest where more sun reaches the surface, at elevations between 700 and 3100 meters. They are native to China; occurring in Hebei, Inner Mongolia, Liaoning, Qinghai, and Shanxi provinces.
People in Hebei and Shanxi have used Dracocephalum rupestre as a tea substitute, and in gardens for their showy flowers.
