Mentha canadensis, Linn. American Wild Mint. Perennial by runners and rootstocks: st. usually pubescent, with spreading hairs, erect or ascending, simple or branched, 6-30 in. high: lvs. ovate-oblong or lanceolate, glabrous or nearly so, 2-3 in. long, slender- petioled, the petioles often exceeding the nearly sessile whorls of light purple fls.: calyx pubescent. In wet soil or in water at the margins of streams. New Bruns. to Brit. Col. and southward to Va. and New Mex.—Often called peppermint, for which it is frequently mistaken and for which it is sometimes used as a substitute. It is variable in habit and also in the character of its oil.
