Field Notes

Description:

The green plant is somewhat fuzzy that grows about a foot tall. The stems have a soft square like shape to them.

Habitat:

Will grow in long grass, pretty much any wear in prairies and by forests.

Notes:

This herb tastes like mint and is chewed, not swallowed, to cure stomach aches.

I found this in my backyard at the edge of the garden.
