Scutellaria cardiophylla, known as gulf skullcap and heartleaf skullcap,[1][2] is a species of flowering plant in the mint family. It is native to Texas, Louisiana, Arkansas, and Oklahoma;[1] it is considered a rare/imperiled species across most of its range.[2] Skullcaps get their name from (and are recognized by) their crested calyx.[3] Its habitat may be rocky or sandy soil in seepage areas, ancient fields, banks, grassy regions in open woodlands, and woodland edges.[3]
