Herbarium specimen: Mentha spicata x suaveolens = M. x villosa var. alopecuroides

Taxon:	Lamiaceae: Mentha spicata x suaveolens = M. x villosa var. alopecuroides det. Rex Alan Henry Graham 19/4/1947 This mint is considered a hybrid by some botanists, but proof is still needed. Fraser gave longifolia and rotundifolia as parents, and I personally incline to this theory.
