Hyptis brevipes is a species of flowering plant in the Hyptis genus. These plants known commonly as lesser roundweed, nanto-iganigakusa (Taiwan), genggeyan and kaneja (Indonesia), sawi hutan (Malaysia), ortela-brava and fazendeiro (Brazil). Hyptis brevipes is an erect annual plant up to 1 m high with the typical square stem of a labiate, often densely hairy but sometimes less so. Leaves are also normally coarsely hairy on both surfaces, opposite, narrowly ovate or lanceolate, 5–7 cm long, up to 2 cm wide, cuneate at the base, the margins irregularly serrate. The inflorescence is a dense raceme, almost globose, up to 14 mm diameter, on a peduncle about 1 cm long in the axils of most upper leaves. Corolla white, irregularly five-lobed, about 5 mm long. The calyx, 4 mm long, also has five narrow, finely barbed lobes. Seeds ovoid, up to 1 mm long, dark brown to black, obscurely striate, with a conspicuous scar[1]
