  https://newfs.s3.amazonaws.com/upload_images/question/jeannette_0e34fdd6b938a1bb447b36c3f36a18b9.jpg I think that the following is a Northern Bugleweed (Lycopus uniflorus)? On Cape Cod, along a small road in a disturbed area, in a moist/wet area. Others disagree and say it's American Water Horehound (Lycopus americanus). Is Northern Bugleweed synonymous with Northern Water Horehound? Are they both Lycopus uniflorus?

  Answer

  Jeanette, good afternoon. I can't tell you which species of Lycopus you have without a closer image of the flowers/fruits. Important for the identification of these species is the sepals, petals, and fruits (small characters that require close inspection). If you have an image that is closer to the plant, I should be able to help you.
