Two new species of Nepeta, N. gossypina sp. nov. from the Adwala Range (northern Balochistan) and N. kalamica from the Deesan Hills (Kalam) are described and illustrated. Nepeta gossypina belongs to sect. Micranthae and is morphologically closely related to N. eremophila, from which it differs in habit, overall indumentum, leaf size, calyx and nutlet characters. Nepeta kalamica belongs to sect. Cataria and is morphologically allied to N. brachyantha, but differs in overall indumentum, leaf, bract, calyx and nutlet characters. A distribution map of both new species is presented.
