Hedeoma pilosa R. S. Irving

Old Blue False Pennyroyal (Hedeoma pilosa)

This species was a perennial herb that formed mats about 4 cm high.

The Old Blue False Pennyroyal is known exclusively from a single specimen that was collected (apparently in 1940) at a limestone overhang in the Glass Mountains in Brewster County in western Texas, USA.

The species was not recorded since and probably is extinct.
