''Monardella'' is a genus of approximately 40 species of annual and perennial plants native to western North America from British Columbia to northwestern Mexico.〔(Kew World Checklist of Selected Plant Families )〕〔(Biota of North America Program 2013 county distribution maps )〕〔Elvin, M.A. & Sanders, A.C. (2009). Nomenclatural changes for ''Monardella'' (Lamiaceae) in California. Novon 19: 315-343. 〕 They are grown for their highly aromatic foliage, which in some species is used for herbal teas. The 2-lipped, tubular flowers are formed in terminal clusters and are most usually red, pink, or purple.〔(Jepson Manual Treatment )〕 Plants in this genus are commonly known as wildmints, coyote mints or monardellas. ;Species〔 # ''Monardella arizonica'' Epling - Arizona # ''Monardella australis'' Abrams - southern California # ''Monardella beneolens'' Shevock, Ertter & Jokerst - southern California # ''Monardella boydii'' A.C.Sanders & Elvin - southern California # ''Monardella breweri'' A.Gray - California, Nevada, Arizona, Baja California # ''Monardella candicans'' Benth. - San Joaquín Valley of California # ''Monardella douglasii'' Benth. - San Francisco Bay area of California # ''Monardella eplingii'' Elvin et al.〔Elvin, M.

The taller ones can be used at the front of a dry sunny border. They have reasonable frost resistance, but resent dampness in winter. Propagate from seed or summer cuttings of perennial species, or by division of clumps. ''Monardella'' is a nectar plant for many Lepidoptera (butterflies and moths), including the Endangered Myrtle's Silverspot Butterfly (''Speyeria zerene myrtleae''). Several species are rare California endemics; two, the Merced Monardella (''M. leucocephala'') and Pringle's Monardella (''M. pringlei''), have not been seen in many decades and are presumed extinct.〔(Jepson Manual Treatment: ''M. leucocephala'' )〕〔(Jepson Manual Treatment: ''M. pringlei'' )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Monardella」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
