Scutellaria galericulata is a perennial herb (rhizomatous) that is native to California, and also found elsewhere in North America and beyond.
California Rare Plant Rank: 2B.2 (rare, threatened, or endangered in CA; common elsewhere).
[Wikipedia] Etymology: The Latin galericulata means "hooded", relating to the length of the flower's tube being much longer than the calyx.[4] The variation epilobiifolia translates as leaves like willow-herb, and refers to the slightly serrated long thin leaves which look similar to those of the genus Epilobium.
