Angelonia is derived from Angelon, the South American name for the plant; angustifolia is from two Latin words, angustus, narrow, and folium, a leaf. The plant has recently been transferred here from Scropulariaceae.

This is a genus of about 30 species native to South America. Some species are cultivated as ornamental plants for their snapdragon-like flowers, and all of them need warm temperatures and large amounts of sunlight.

Angelonia angustifolia is an erect little annual or perennial with smooth stems and narrow 5–7.5 cm long leaves with dentate margins and pointed tips.

It is native to Mexico and the West Indies. Some people say that the foliage smells like apples.
