''Pycnanthemum'' is a genus of plants in the mint family (Lamiaceae). They are commonly known as mountain mints (or mountain-mints, mountainmints), though "the mountain mint" may also be any locally common species in particular. Some are known as koellias, after an obsolete genus name. All of the species in this genus are native to North America.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Biota of North America Program, 2013 county distribution maps )〕 Most are very strongly scented and pungent, and are used in cooking and in making herbal tea. Indeed, like the true mints (''Mentha'') they belong to the tribe Mentheae of subfamily Nepetoideae. However, while the mountain-mints are a highly advanced genus most probably closest to the bee balms (''Monarda''), which are also endemic to North America, the true mints are part of a more basal and largely European radiation of this tribe. ;Species〔 # ''Pycnanthemum albescens'' Torr. & A.Gray – White-leaved mountainmint - south-central US # ''Pycnanthemum beadlei'' (Small) Fernald - North Carolina, South Carolina, Virginia, eastern Tennessee, northern Georgia # ''Pycnanthemum californicum'' Torr. ex Durand - Sierra mint - California # ''Pycnanthemum clinopodioides'' Torr. & A.Gray - mid-Atlantic States, Tennessee, Indiana # ''Pycnanthemum curvipes'' (Greene) E.Grant & Epling - southeastern US # ''Pycnanthemum flexuosum'' (Walter) Britton, Sterns & Poggenb. - southeastern US # ''Pycnanthemum floridanum'' E.Grant & Epling – Florida mountainmint - Florida, southern Georgia # ''Pycnanthemum incanum'' (L.)
