Virginia Water-Horehound, Sweet Bugleweed (Lycopus virginicus)

 Leaves with relatively small (for Lycopus) teeth and none are elongated into lobes

Flowers with sepals (calyx) with broad-triangular lobes, not long-pointed

Flower petals point mostly in the direction of the flower, not wide-spreading

Leaves taper abruptly to a long, winged leafstalk. Can be purple.

Fruit indented at top with calyx lobes barely peeking up over edge of fruit.

Stems and leaves usually hairy.
