Scutellaria ovata, commonly known as the heartleaf skullcap, is a member of the mint family (Lamiaceae) native to the United States from Minnesota to Florida, and from Texas to the Atlantic coast, as well as Mexico. It is an erect perennial, growing to around 80 cm tall, with blue flowers arranged in a terminal raceme from May to October. It is highly variable across its range, with numerous varieties and subspecies having been described. It is ranked as globally "secure", but is locally rare at the edges of its natural range and is listed as threatened in Minnesota. In 2007 it was found in The Nature Conservancy's Ives Road Fen Preserve in Tecumseh, Michigan, the first documented occurrence of the species in Michigan since 1918.
