Pogogyne serpylloides is a species of flowering plant in the mint family known by the common names thymeleaf mesamint[1] and thymeleaf beardstyle. It is endemic to central California, where it grows in grassy habitat in coastal and inland mountain ranges and foothills. It is a petite aromatic annual herb growing decumbent or upright, often reaching no more than a centimeter in height even when erect in form, sometimes larger. The slender stem is sometimes branched. The inflorescence is a series of rounded, headlike clusters, with occasional single flowers emerging at leaf axils. The tiny tubular flower is 2 to 5 millimeters long and has a lobed, lipped mouth. It is lavender in color, sometimes with faint white markings in the mouth.
