Herbarium specimen: Mentha arvensis var. obtusifolia

Taxon:Lamiaceae: Mentha arvensis var. obtusifolia Lej. & Courtois
det. Rex Alan Henry Graham 10/9/1949

Full of seed! x M. sativa does not produce seed, so far as I have observed. This is not a very good var. The broad, rather blunt leaves with the thin scattering of hairs are the features.
