Occasional in damp lowland areas of rough vegetation. Flower whorls c 18-25 mm diameter. Skye ID: Told as a mint by scent. Flowers in whorls at base of leaves, stem may terminate in leaves or flowers but the largest flower whorls are always lower down the stem. Told from Corn Mint by the calyx tube being about twice as long as broad and the calyx teeth also much longer than broad (seen in lower right of bottom picture) Other features: Leaves stalked, blades about 1.5 x as long as broad. A sterile hybrid. |
