Lopseed belongs to a family of herbaceous flowering plants, characterized by square stems and opposite leaves which may be toothed or entire. Prominent for their showy, often bilaterally symmetrical flowers, these plants usually have a zygomorphic flower structure, adapted to encourage pollination by specific pollinators. Lopseed thrives in diverse habitats, often favoring moist environments, which aids in nutrient absorption and support for its vibrant blooms.
