European dittany is in the rue family (Rutaceae), while the other two species are in the mint family (Lamiaceae). All three species are bushy perennials cultivated for their aromatic foliage.
American dittany is found in dry woodlands and prairies of the eastern United States and was once used as a remedy for fever and snakebite. It attains a height of 30 cm (1 foot) and has mint-scented leaves and clusters of rose-purple to white tubular flowers."
