Pogogyne Tenuiflora
''Pogogyne tenuiflora'' is an extinct species of annual plant in the mint family. Endemic to Guadalupe Island in the eastern Pacific, the Guadalupe mesa mint was only known from a single specimen collected by Edward Palmer in 1875. The species was described from Palmer's specimens by Asa Gray in 1876.

The corollas are blue-purple and tubular, with an erect, entire upper lip and a spreading 3-lobed lower lip. The corollas measure long. The lower pair of stamens measure long. The style is bearded for about below the branches. The two sterile upper anthers place this species within the ''Hedeomoides'' subgenus of ''Pogogyne'', which was recognized as its own genus by John Isaac Briquet in 1896.Engler, Heinrich Gustav Adolf; Prantl, Karl Anton Eugen (1896) ''Naturlichen Pflanzenfamilien'' 4, Abt. 3a: 295 During his visit, Palm ...

Lamiaceae
The Lamiaceae ( ) or Labiatae are a family (biology), family of flowering plants commonly known as the mint, deadnettle, or sage family. Many of the plants are aromatic in all parts and include widely used culinary herbs like basil (herb), basil, mentha, mint, rosemary, Salvia officinalis, sage, savory (herb), savory, marjoram, oregano, Hyssopus officinalis, hyssop, thyme, lavender, and perilla, as well as traditional medicines such as catnip, ''Salvia'', Monarda, bee balm, Leonotis leonurus, wild dagga, and Leonurus japonicus, oriental motherwort. Some species are shrubs, trees (such as teak), or, rarely, vines. Many members of the family are widely cultivated, not only for their aromatic qualities, but also their ease of cultivation, since they are readily propagated by stem cuttings. Besides those grown for their edible leaves, some are grown for decorative foliage. Others are grown for seed, such as ''Salvia hispanica'' (chia), or for their edible tubers, such as ''Plectr ...

Guadalupe Island
Guadalupe Island () is a volcanic island located off the western coast of Mexico's Baja California peninsula and about southwest of the city of Ensenada in the state of Baja California, in the Pacific Ocean. The various volcanoes are extinct or dormant. In 2005 Guadalupe Island and its surrounding waters and islets were declared a biosphere reserve to restore its vegetation (decimated by feral goats) and to protect its population of marine mammals and birds. The island was a popular destination for great white shark cage diving before a tourism ban was put in place in 2022. Guadalupe Island is inhabited only by scientists, military personnel operating a weather station, and a small group of seasonal fishermen. The island is mostly arid and has very little surface water. The two other Mexican island groups in the Pacific Ocean that are not on the continental shelf are the Revillagigedo Islands and Rocas Alijos.
