agastachen.

Brit.

/əˈɡastəki/, U.S.

/əˈɡæstəki/

Origin: A borrowing from Latin. Etymon: Latin Agastache.

Etymology: < scientific Latin Agastache, genus name ( J. F. Gronovius Flora Virginica (1762) 88) < ancient Greek ἄγαν very much (probably originally showing the accusative of ἄγη wonder: see agalite n.) + στάχυς ear of corn (see stachys n.), so called on account of the multiple flowering spikes of the plant.

Chiefly North American.

Any of various perennial plants constituting the genus Agastache (family Lamiaceae ( Labiatae)), native chiefly to North America, having multiple spikes of tubular pink to purple flowers and scented leaves; esp. (in later use) any of the many cultivated varieties grown in gardens for ornament. Also (in form Agastache): the genus itself.
