Lagochilus is a genus of the mint family that contains Turkistan mint (Lagochilus inebrians).[2][3] It is native to central, south-central, and eastern Asia (Iran,[4] Pakistan, Kazakhstan,[5] Mongolia, China, etc.).[1][6]

Etymology of genus name

[edit | edit source]

The genus name Lagochilus is derived from the Greek elements λαγός (lagos) "hare" and χείλος (ch(e)ilos) "lip" (in reference to a perceived resemblance between the shape of the corolla and the cleft lip of a hare).[7]
