Clinopodium brownei, also known as Browne's savory, is a perennial herb with square stems and opposite leaves. It has a hairy stem and calyx, and its corolla is bilabiate with thin and delicate lips. The color of the corolla can range from pinkish-white to lavender or white. This herb has four stamens and a 4-lobed ovary with a gynobasic style. It also has a nectiferous gland under the ovary. Browne's savory is typically found in marshy areas along the southeastern coast of the United States, as well as in Mexico, Central and South America, and the West Indies during late winter and early spring.
