Mentha arvensis x spicata = M. x gracilis herbarium specimen from Brixham, VC3 South Devon in 1938 by Francis Morland Day.
fruits/flowers:mature flowers
notes:Remarks: det. A.L. Still.
I think this is the M. arvensis L. on the dense whorls & campanulate calyxes, as well as the general habit. It resembles var. palitzensis Top. on description (& durolleana) ALS
