Pycnanthemum monotrichum | |
Pycnanthemum monotrichum, commonly known as one-hair mountain-mint, is an extinct [1] [2] species of herbaceous perennial plant in the family Lamiaceae endemic to Southeastern Virginia. [3] Pycnanthemum monotrichum inhabited dry, sandy woodlands and clearings in Virginia's coastal plain. [4] It is a poorly known taxon and may represent a hybrid, or a more abundant species that has been overlooked. [5] [6] Pycnanthemum monotrichum bloomed from July through September and grew up to four feet tall. [7]
