About

Lachnostachys is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae, first described in 1842 by William Jackson Hooker. The type species is Lachnostachys ferruginea. The genus name, Lachnostachys, comes from two Greek words/roots, lachnề ("wool") and -stachys, and thus describes the genus as having spiked woolly inflorescences. The entire genus is endemic to Western Australia
