Description

Skullcap is the common name for Scutellaria, a genus of flowering plants in the mint family.

The name is derived from the Latin word scutella, which means “little dish,” as the small flowers of these plants have a dish- or helmet-like shape. Skullcap is not to be confused with death caps, which are a highly poisonous mushroom.
