Clinopodium talladeganum, commonly known as the Talladega wild basil, is a perennial vascular shrub in the mint family.

[2] The inflorescence of Clinopodium talladeganum is in axillary glomerules, which have 2-20 nodes, 2-8 flowered, the pedicels are 1.5-2 mm, and it is very pubescent.

[3] The flowers have a calyx that is around 4-5 mm long and tubular, green and purple, and it is pubescent on the ribs and along the margin, where the trichomes are erect.

[3] Only endemic to three counties in Alabama, the Clinopodium talladeganum is confined within the Talladega Mountains—only a few confirmed subpopulations of about a dozen.

[2] To fully understand the distribution and population of Clinopodium talladeganum, further research, and understanding of the available habitat and its subpopulation sizes should be considered, as well as the ecology of the Talladega wild Basil to fully record the occurrence of this new species of Clinopodium.
