    I've been looking through my Weeds of California and Other Western States reference book, and can't find it. Leaves are individual, slightly fuzzy and sticky, plant has a pleasant (almost minty) smell. That's all the information I have. Looking at the image, it looks like it may have square stems, but I can't be sure. was thinking Narrow-leaved Mountain-mintPycnanthemum tenuifolium, but it's not supposed to be in CA. Can you help?

    Dittrichia graveolens seems a possibility.

    Thanks for your reply. Apparently the scent is that of camphor. maybe some people find this "pleasant"? I'll suggest this to the client and ask for feed back if/when it flowers. Appreciate your time and expertise!
