Pycnanthemum virginianum, the Virginia or common mountain-mint,[2] is a plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae.

It is a herbaceous plant with narrow, opposite, simple leaves, on wiry, green stems.

Like most plants in the genus, the foliage has a strong mint fragrance when crushed or disturbed.

[3][4] The flowers are visited by many insects, including honeybees, cuckoo bees, sweat bees, thread-waisted wasps, potter wasps, tachinid flies, wedge-shaped beetles, and pearl crescent butterflies.
