Carl Linnaeus described the downy wood mint as Monarda ciliata, before George Bentham gave it its current binomial name.[4]
Blephilia ciliata grows as a perennial herb reaching 40 to 80 cm (15.5 to 31.5 in) high.[5] Leaves are sessile, lightly toothed, and mildly fragrant when crushed.[6] Flowers bloom from May to August. Flower petal color can range from blue, purple or white.[3] Its habitats include dry open woods and thickets, clearings, fields, and roadsides.[6]
It has traditionally been used by the Cherokee to make a poultice to treat headaches.[7]
