HOARY WATER-MINT. 



THIS Mint grows about a foot and half in height; the ftalk is up- 

 right, very hairy, and not branched, unlefs quite at the top; its flowers 

 are in very compact heads; the leaves are rather heart-fhaped than ovate, 

 and are foft and woolly; the ftamens are fhorter than the bloffom: it has a 

 fine aromatic fmell, and is, in its afpedt, fo totally different from aquatica 

 minor, and major, that it might with propriety be made a diftincl: mint. 



It grows upon Lanfdown, in the fpring-head of Locks-brook, (along 

 with aquatica major and pip. officinalis) as well as in various other elevated 



fvvamps about Bath. It is a late plant, and does not blow before the 



latter end of September.
