Characteristics
The proper classification for the species currently in this genus is problematic. These species are closely related to genera such as Conradina and Piloblephis, far removed from Calamintha and Clinopodium vulgare, the type species of Clinopodium (Edwards et al. 2006; Bräuchler et al. 2010; Drew & Sytsma 2012). It appears C. ashei, C. coccineum, and C. dentatum belong in Diodeilis, and that C. georgianum is closely related but possibly generically distinct.
