Pogogyne floribunda is a species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common names profuseflower mesamint[1] and profuse-flowered pogogyne. It is native to the Modoc Plateau and surrounding basin habitat in the northeastern corner of California . It is known from six occurrences in adjacent Oregon and one in Idaho.[2] It can be found in vernal pools, ephemeral creeks, and other summer-dry water bodies on the plateau. This is an aromatic annual herb producing a mostly erect, branching stem which is lined nearly from base to top with inflorescence. The lipped, tubular flowers are about half a centimeter long and white in color. Most have purple spots or red speckles, while a few are pure white or solid pale purple.[2] Each is surrounded by a calyx of pointed sepals which are coated in long white hairs.
This plant, once thought to be a variety of the more common Pogogyne zizyphoroides, was elevated to species level in 1992.[3]
