This species is commonly called Rose-bnlm, and is highly 
aromatic. It is known also by the name of Calamint. The 
flowers are red and blue, and disposed in heads or corymbs. 
I have best loved those hours when, ’mid a group 
Of chosen friends, I gave frank utterance 
To every thought, and won theirs in return. 
With books around the fireside, or with flowers 
'When summer reigns, how freely gush and blend 
True hearts in unison! To man how dear 
His cheerful hearthstone when the day is o’er; 
And woman—sure her heart was wholly made 
For sweet communion at the social shrine.
