This plant was also recorded from Gori Valley area, common otherwise too.. Hyptis suaveolens... So this species has also invaded a remote Himalayan Valley. Noxious weed, a threat to native flora. where did it come from and how? A tropical American weed. How it reached here is not known. is there a database of weed's first appearance or reporting in India? No idea
An aromatic herb, not much common here.. Hyptis suaveolens...from Panipat faded fotos. happens sometimes when we go too rapidly from shade to sun and forget this to change American Mint- Hyptis suaveolens – What the best way to escape mosquito bites? Nature has the answer for this: just apply the oil extracted from the American mint to protect yourself from notorious mosquitoes, says a paper published in the Journal of the American Mosquito control association. Brimming with nectar, the flowers of the American mint are a choice favourite of several butterflies for their meal. Knowing that butterflies and other insects visit these flowers, predators like spiders and mantids stay near the flowers to hunt their prey. This is an annual plant that grows with the onset of monsoon throughout the world. In India it is common in forest paths and country sides. D’nt forget to inhale the aroma of the Bush mint during your forest walk next time.
