Phyla nodiflora, commonly known as Lippia[3], Kurapia[4], and Frogfruit,[5] is a species of flowering plant in the family Verbenaceae.

[2] It is often grown as an ornamental plant for ground cover, and is often present in yards or disturbed areas.

[citation needed] The inflorescence consists of a purple centre encircled by small white-to-pink flowers.

The flower takes on a match-like look, which is why the plant is sometimes called matchweed.

It is similar to the related species Phyla lanceolata, but differs in having much shorter leaves that are often blunt and much more rounded.
