"Phryma", or lopseed, is a perennial herb.cite web | url = http://wisplants.uwsp.edu/scripts/detail.asp?SpCode=PHRLEP | title = Phryma leptostachya | publisher = Robert W. Freckmann Herbarium, University of Wisconsin - Stevens Point | accessdate = 2008-01-08] The genus is native to eastern North America (roughly, everywhere east of the Rocky Mountainscite web | url = http://plants.usda.gov/java/profile?symbol=PHLE5 | title = Phryma leptostachya | work = PLANTS | accessdate = 2008-01-08] ) and Asia (Japan, Nepal, India and West Pakistan [cite web | url = http://www.efloras.org/florataxon.aspx?flora_id=5&taxon_id=200022045 | title = Phryma leptostachya | work = Flora of Pakistan | accessdate = 2008-01-08] ), and consists of either one or two species, depending on whether the American and Asian species are considered separate or not.cite journal | author = Olmstead, R. G. | title = Whatever happened to the Scrophulariaceae? | journal=Fremontia | volume = 30| pages= 13–22 | year=2003 | url = http://courses.washington.edu/bot113/Spring/WebReadings/PdfReadings/Scrophulariaceae.pdf | format = dead link|date=June 2008 – [http://scholar.google.co.uk/scholar?hl=en&lr=&q=author%3A+intitle%3AWhatever+happened+to+the+Scrophulariaceae%3F&as_publication=Fremontia&as_ylo=2003&as_yhi=2003&btnG=Search Scholar search] Page 22.]

The plant stands about 0.3 to 1.0 meters tall, and the inflorescences bear a number of small (4 mm) tube-shaped white to pink flowers.

Although it has sometimes been classified in the family Verbenaceae, 21st century research has placed it in a small family (Phrymaceae) along with "Mimulus" (monkey flowers) and a small number of other genera which had formerly been in the Scrophulariaceae.
