horsemint
Wild meadow plant
Horsemint is any of several aromatic plants in the mint family, native to North America.
The name applies especially to wild mints with showy flower clusters, grown for their fragrance or used in folk medicine.
Like many plant names with "horse," the prefix suggests a coarser, wilder variety than cultivated mint.
