Poliomintha is a genus of flowering plants in the mint family, Lamiaceae.[1] It is native to the southwestern United States, Haiti, and northern Mexico.[2][3]

The name is derived from the Greek words πολιός (polios), meaning "grey," and μίνθη (minthe), meaning "mint."[4] Members of the genus are commonly known as rosemary-mints.[5]
