| Any help identifying this thing would be greatly appreciated. I'm at a loss. I think it might be some sort of herb that can be eaten, but i'm not sure. |

| Wow thanks for the quick response. Know anything about this particular subspecies of Plectranthus? Or am I already pushing the bounds of your knowledge. I've looked all over the internet and it's baffling how little there is written about it. |

| I grow Cuban oregano but the leaves are huge compared to the one in the photo. You should be able to tell by the smell.... |

| How would you describe the smell? This plant smells too, it's faint but somewhat sweet. It doesn't look like Plectranthus montanus when I google image that. |
