Dicerandra fumella, commonly known as smoky balm or Alabama balm, is an aromatic herbaceous perennial plant species in the mint family (Lamiaceae).[1]
The leaves are narrow, typically 1–3 mm wide (sometimes up to 5 mm), and are usually rolled under along the margins. The inflorescences may be either simple or branched, and each cyme generally bears three to five flowers (occasionally seven). The corolla tube measures 6–7 mm in length and extends visibly beyond the calyx. The limb of the corolla is funnel-shaped, with the upright lobe noticeably taller than it is wide.[2]
