Redirection of horse mint
[edit]Horse mint is the common name of Mentha sylvestris (syn. Mentha longifolia). While these are both within the same taxonomic family, horse mint used for Monarda is an alternate common name instead of the standard common name. I would like to redirect the search for Horse Mint to Mentha sylvestris, or perhaps offer a disambiguation page, or perhaps both. Is there a current maintainer of the Monarda page who I can discuss this with? Feel free to leave me a comment directly on my talk page if you know. Jeremywosborne 18:37, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Update: A search for "horsemint" correctly goes to a disambiguation page. A search for "horse mint" originally redirected to the Monarda page. Changed redirection of "horse mint" to the disambiguation page. Jeremywosborne 19:35, 30 June 2007 (UTC)
Is this notable?
[edit]I'm not sure if the following text is notable enough to be included in the article:
- In 2010, due to its similarities with the cannabis plant, a few Corpus Christi, Texas police officers spent hours pulling 400 of the plants from a city park. After a few chemical tests it was eventually discovered that the plant was Horse Mint.[1]
I try not to delete fully referenced, accurate material, so I thought I'd place it here until someone else makes a decision. --TDogg310 (talk) 17:15, 9 October 2011 (UTC)

[edit]To add to this article: at least one photograph that actually clearly shows the leaves. 173.88.246.138 (talk) 14:21, 5 July 2020 (UTC)
Great Taxonomy Section
[edit]Just a plant researcher stopping by to say that the taxonomy section is beautiful. Too many pages have just a list of scientific names with little other information, but this article also includes the native range for each species which is super helpful. I cannot explain how much I appreciate the native range information, I wish that was standard for all species taxonomy sections. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Anonkiwi (talk • contribs) 20:58, 28 October 2020 (UTC)
