Hairy wood mint flowers consist of (from back to front) a tubular, stubby calyx with five long teeth and margins with very long, soft white hairs; a white or light purple tubular corolla with an unlobed upper lip, hairy on the outer surface; and a three lobed lower lip with scattered purple dots. Two stamens and a pistil with a bifurcated stigma protrude. Upper right — an ant for scale on a hairy wood mint flower.
