Trichostema dichotomum, commonly known as forked bluecurls, is a flowering plant in the mint family (Lamiaceae).

[2][3][4][5][6] Trichostema dichotomum is an annual herbaceous forb with opposite, simple leaves, and square, erect, hairy stems.

[8] Each flower blooms only for half a day, opening in the morning and dropping its petals and stamens by the afternoon.

[9] This plant germinates early in the summer and grows in sunny, moderately dry, sandy areas, including sandhills, open woodlands, glades, and disturbed areas.

[10] It is an important nectar producer for bees, including Caupolicana electa and Dialictus placidensis.
