Mentha suaveolens, a European perennial, escaped during the
horticultural process and grows wild in lowland grasslands. It
smells of mint, with the whole with abundant white hairs. The
phyllotaxis is the opposite; the leaves measure 3-5cm long and 2-4cm
wide, in the shape of an oblong or orbicular, with no petioles and
the bases embracing the stems, uneven surfaces with deeply dented
veins, serrations on the margins, and glandular dots on the
backside. Branch tops emerge 3-6cm long inflorescences and set many
white labiate flowers, with four stamens, two prolonged, and project
out of the corollas. Fruit branches into four mericarps or three
occasionally. Bloom time: July-September. |
