Collinsonia is a genus of flowering plants in the family Lamiaceae. It is endemic to eastern North America.^[1] It was named for the English botanist Peter Collinson (1694–1768) by Linnaeus in Species Plantarum in 1753.^[2] It is in the tribe Elscholtzieae, a small tribe of only 5 genera.^[3] In order of their number of species, they are Elscholtzia, Mosla, Collinsonia, Perilla, and Perillula.

The circumscription of species in Collinsonia has been a source of confusion, and many names have been published.^[4] Some authors have recognized as many as 10 species. In 2006, the genus was revised with only four species recognized.^[5]
