흰꽃범의꼬리

Physostegia virginiana (obedient plant, obedience, or false dragonhead) is a species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is native to North America, where it is distributed from eastern Canada to northern Mexico. Physostegia are known commonly as obedient plants because a flower pushed to one side will often stay in that position.The name false dragonhead refers to the dragonheads of the related Dracocephalum,a genus to which the plant once belonged.

It is a rhizomatous perennial herb producing clumps of stiff, squared stems 2 to 4 feet tall. The leaves are lance-shaped and toothed. It has long, dense spikes of lipped, pinkish, "snapdragon-like" flowers in the summer.There are two recognized subspecies . The ssp. praemorsa is more widespread farther south, to Texas and New Mexico , and the ssp. virginiana extends farther north and west.'Alba' - white flowers.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physostegia_virginiana
