Okdek: Labiativ — Mint Faniilv. 



ERE is an unattractive foreign plant supposed to have been 



intioduced into this country through the commerce of the 



nations, as many of our now obnoxious weeds ha\-e found 



their way, concealed in various grains imported for seed. 



It IS now frequently found naturalized in the fields and by 



the waysides. The stem is from two to three feet high, 



\mg bioad, opposite leaves covered with a soft down. It derives 



its name from the Greek word hallo, to throw, or reject, on account 



of its oflensive odor. It blooms in July, the flowers being either 



purple or white, and of little beauty.
