Western Europe to Japan and Java. Very closely allied to 
M. canadensis, Linn., and united with it by some authors. 
[Loureiro (Fl. Cochineh. p. 360-1) records Mentha crispa, 
Linn., a variety of M. aquatica, Linn., as ubique obvia in China, 
and M. Pulegium, Linn., as wild and cultivated. The latter was 
probably M. arvensis, Linn., which bears the Chinese name given 
by Loureiro. See Bretschneider (Early Res. p. 167) We have 
also a note of the equally widely spread Mentha sylvestris, Linn., 
having been collected by Shearer at Kiukiang; but we do not 
find the specimen.] ,
