This tiny native mint is also called false pennyroyal and lives only in Florida, a few counties in Georgia and a few Bahamian islands. Bees love it! Native Americans used it medicinally and as a tea and flavoring in soups. It is reportedly an intense mint (even being used as smelling salts) and should never be consumed if one is pregnant.
