water mint

Was it the damp that brought the perfumes of the moorland so distinctly toward them—the bog-myrtle, the water-mint and wild thyme?

The leaves of the Hairy Water Mint are broadly oval with widely separated teeth round the edge.

Was that the dried sweetness of balsam,—the pungent odor of pennyroyal and water-mint,—the clean, resinous fragrance of the pines?

The water-mint and scorpion-grasses remain far into November, and the former scents more sweetly as the season wanes.
