Question
Is this the Northern Bugleweed (Lycopus uniflorus)? is it the same as the Northern Water-Horehound? Location: Cape Cod, in a disturbed moist/wet area, on the edge of a small road. I'd like to know that I'm on the right track. I recognized it as a plant in the mint family but had never seen the Bugleweed before. Thank you.
Answer
Dear Jeanettte, you have photographed a species of Lycopus, but I cannot tell you with confidence which one. To do this, I would need a closer image of the flowers so that I can see the petals and sepals clearly. If you can upload this or send it to ahaines[at]newenglandwild.org, I can try to help you further.
