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.[2][5][6] Many of them bear attractive pitcher-shaped flowers, often in shades of purple. The genus was named for the Russian botanist Ivan Ivanovich Lepechin.[7] Recently, the two monotypic genera Chaunostoma and Neoeplingia were shown to be part of Lepechinia.[8]
