Monardella undulata, also known as curlyleaf monardella, is a rare flowering plant in the mint family that is native to the coast of California. It is an annual herb with fleshy, wavy-edged leaves and purple flowers that bloom in clusters. There are three known subspecies of this plant, each found in different areas of Santa Barbara and San Luis Obispo Counties. Monardella undulata is threatened by human activities such as sand mining and the introduction of non-native plants. It is an important food source for the endangered Myrtle's silverspot butterfly.
