Chloanthes is a genus of four species of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae and is endemic to Australia.

Plants in this genus are shrubs with hairy foliage, blistered or wrinkly leaves and flowers with five petals fused at the base, usually with two "lips".

Plants in the genus Chloanthes are shrubs with woolly-hairy foliage, erect stems and simple, sessile, decussate or whorled leaves with blistered or wrinkly edges and that more or less hide the branches.

The flowers are arranged singly in leaf axils and are sessile, with bracts and bracteoles.

[5][6][7] The genus Chloanthes was first formally described in 1810 by Robert Brown in his Prodromus Florae Novae Hollandiae et Insulae Van Diemen.
