Question
This plant was located near Descanso, California in the Desert Mountains. More specifically here (https://goo.gl/maps/mblRi). I've added two photos. The stem has a squared (with rounded corners. It was wild as it was growing (freely) in various places through the camp ground.
Answer
cfreiling, the plant you have photographed certainly looks like a member of the Lamiaceae (mint family). Unfortunately, you are far out of my range (Go Botany is a website dedicated to wild plants of New England). I suggest you contact a botanist in your region, which you may be able to locate through the Jepson Herbarium in Berkeley (http://ucjeps.berkeley.edu/jepson_flora_project.html). Best wishes.
