Pennyroyal – Mentha pulegium

Mentha pulegium is a perennial mint whose arching or prostrate stems can root at the nodes. Lilac-mauve flowers form rounded whorls in the leaf axils, leaving leafy sections above them. This distinguishes its flower arrangement from the terminal spikes of horse mint. Pennyroyal is harmful if eaten. Pennyroyal is the catalogue designation for this seed entry.
