Drepanocaryum is a genus in the mint family (Lamiaceae) with a single known species, Drepanocaryum sewerzowii, native to dry parts of west, central and south-central Asia. It is a wild shrub of arid regions and is not commonly grown as a garden or houseplant, so care is mainly a matter of dry, sunny, well-drained conditions.
