From Mentha mollis to Minthostachys
The current name rests on the basionym Mentha mollis Benth., a name Bentham published in the genus of the true mints; Grisebach transferred the species to Minthostachys in 1874. The World Checklist of Vascular Plants (WCVP), compiled at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, accepts Minthostachys mollis (Benth.) Griseb. as a species of the Lamiaceae and also lists Bystropogon mollis Kunth as a synonym. The supplier sells the oil as Peruvian mint, but the plant is no longer placed in Mentha.
Recorded range
WCVP records Minthostachys mollis as native to Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru and Bolivia. Peru, the country on the label, lies within that range.
Muña herb, a different species
Our range also includes shredded muña herb from Peru, labelled Minthostachys setosa. It shares the common name and the genus, but it is a different species and a dried herb rather than an oil.
