Also called Dwarf Pennyroyal, False Pennyroyal
Hedeoma nana, the dwarf false pennyroyal, is a species of flowering plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae). It is native to parts of the southwestern and central United States and extends into northeastern Mexico. This occasionally aromatic herb occurs in a variety of open and semi-arid habitats and is known for its small, gland-dotted leaves and axillary clusters of flowers with inflated/flared corollas.
This species is native to the southwestern and south-central United States — including Arizona, California (especially the Mojave and other desert regions), Nevada, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah — and extends into northeastern Mexico. It typically grows in rocky calcareous slopes, desert scrub, pinyon-juniper woodland, and other open, dry habitats at elevations ranging from low valleys to mountainous regions.
