Question
Hello ~ I have keyed-out a plant to Agalinus paupercula, small-flowered agalinus. However, I noticed my sample has a wonderful minty scent, quite strong, yet this attribute is not mentioned for any species in the genus. It would be very helpful to know whether or not Agalinus has a mint scent. Perhaps I need to keep digging! Cheers, Atom
Answer
Dear Atom, good morning. Your plant isn't small-flowered agalinis, this is because the flowers are stalked (without stalks in this species) and the leaf blades are too broad. You appear to have a species in the mint family, but I can't tell you which one without location information (this is really critical for plant identification). If you can provide that, I may be able to assist. Best wishes.
