Lepechinia is a genus of plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae. [3] It includes several species of plants known commonly as pitchersages (also pitcher sages). [4] Plants of this genus can be found in Central and South America, Mexico, California, Hispaniola, and Hawaii, although the species in Hawaii is probably a human introduction. [5] [6] [7] Many of them bear attractive pitcher-shaped flowers, often in shades of purple. The genus was named for the Russian botanist Ivan Ivanovich Lepechin. [8] In 2011, the two monotypic genera Chaunostoma and Neoeplingia were shown to be part of Lepechinia. [9]

<i>Catoferia</i> Genus of flowering plants

Catoferia is a small genus of plants in the family Lamiaceae composed of only four different species. First described in full by George Bentham in 1876, said species are native to southern Mexico, Central America, Colombia and Peru. Amongst all four species, only Catoferia chiapensis are known to grow across a wide area, their growth recorded in southern Mexico, Guatemala, Peru and Belize. Growth of the other three variants is believed to be limited to Southern Mexico. The beginning of the genus Catoferia is thought trace back to the Cretaceous era, making it around 55 to 65 million years old.
