NfiPETA (Latin, perhaps from Nepete, an Etrurian 

 city). Luhi&ta. This genus includes Catnip, Ground 

 Ivy and some other hardy perennial herbs of the easiest 

 culture. Catnip is a familiar weed near dwellings and 

 barns. Cats are fond of it, and Catnip tea is a pungent 

 memory with those who have survived the era of 

 homelv simples. The .seeds of Catnip are still oflercd.
