Mentha Pulegium Var. Villosa

Mentha pulegium var. villosa is a lesser-known species within the mint family known for its unique characteristics and medicinal properties. This variant of the water mint plant is distinguished by its hairy foliage and a strong, often camphor-like aroma. Native to parts of Europe and Asia, it thrives in moist, shaded environments such as stream banks and wet meadows. While not as widely cultivated as other mints, it has been used in traditional medicine for its potential antiseptic and anti-inflammatory benefits. Its ecological role and chemical composition make it an intriguing subject for both botanists and herbalists.
