Hyptis capitata
Hyptis capitata, also known as false ironwort or knobweed, is a species of erect perennial shrub in the Lamiaceae family. It is native to Florida, Mexico, Central America, the West Indies, and South America, but is naturalized in Australia, Southeast Asia, and some tropical islands. It grows up to 1.5 meters tall. In many places, it is considered a weed. source
The image I'm showing here is a newly grown Hyptis capitata plant, just a few days old. The leaves of this plant have many benefits, one of which is medicinal. The leaves can accelerate wound healing. The leaves are crushed and then applied to the wound.
