Your photo is *probably* Physostegia virginiana. I hesitate because P. angustifolia is virtually identical in this area of the country. Both typically have thin leaves in SW MO, which is odd and unlike other parts of the country. From plant lists the pattern seems to be that angustifolia prefers limestone-based drier prairies and glades.
