Description

This mysterious purple plant(possibly a member of the mint family) was found among the rocks in a dry creek bed. There were approximately 7 other stalks in the area, varying lengths. They were approximately 25 cm tall, but the shorter stalks were green. They had simple opposite leaves and little "cup" like flowers. They had a square stem.
