Image:Mentha aquatica x spicata = M. x piperita herbarium specimen from Whitwell, VC27 East Norfolk in 1883 by Rev Kirby Trimmer.
notes:A very different form of M aquatica x longifolia; densely pubescent, but in other respects agreeing better with Syme's figure of hircina than with that of palustris. It seems needless to give special segregate names to these fluctuating hybrids. ESM (Marshall)
