Whitestem hedgenettle

Stachys albens

''Stachys albens'', also known as whitestem hedgenettle or white hedgenettle, is a mint endemic to California. ''S. albens'' flowers have a 2-lipped, 5-lobed calyx, which is densely cob-webby and white to pinkish in color with purplish veins. The plant is fuzzy all over, with opposite, triangular, serrate leaves, a square stem, a layered spike of many small flowers, and a minty smell if bruised.
