Glechoma hederacea 4

This common weed has a minty odor and taste. Quote from Wikipedia entry of Glechoma hederacea:

 

"G. hederacea was also widely used by the Saxons in brewing ale as flavoring, clarification, and preservative, and later by the English, before the introduction of hops into brewing in the late 15th century. From this, the brewing-related names arose for the herb, e.g. alehoof, tunhoof, and gill-over-the-ground."
