Field Notes

Description:

It is a herbaceous, perennial plant and has a variability to have hairless or hairy stems. The leaves have a serrated margin and when broken diffuse strong aromatic chemicals.

Habitat:

We maintain it in our garden in a sunny spot. At night we shower it with water and it is growing profusely. I live in Puerto Rico so the soil is pretty fertile and this plant really thrives.
