Description

Clinopodium mimuloides is a perennial herb or small shrub growing erect to about 2 metres (6.6 ft) in height.[4] The slender branches are hairy, the herbage aromatic. The leaves have toothed or wavy edges and are up to 8 centimeters long by 6 wide.

Flowers occur in the leaf axils. Each is tubular and may be over 3 centimeters long. The flowers are salmon pink in color, and as the plant's name suggests, resemble those of some Mimulus species.
