    This article presents the results of a study on the species Elsholtzia stauntonii Benth., an aromatic and medicinal plant, introduced and little investigated, but valuable from an economic point of view. The research aimed at the evaluation and characterization of this species from a botanical, phytochemical and agrotechnical point of view, in order to determine the biomorphological features, the composition and content of essential oil, as well as the primary elements of cultivation, respectively. The essential oil has antibacterial, antiviral, astringent, carminative, diuretic and somatic action. Its subtle aroma, is similar to the balsamic smell of lemon, which determines the value of using elsholtzia. It has high potential as an ornamental and melliferous plant.
