    Have been through the plant list for the grid for this plant - unable to find a match. Anyone know herbs?

    It looks like some kind of mint, but I'm not familiar with varieties.

    Yes - I thought mint from the leaf appearance, but am unable to find a matching flower. No scent in the leaves, either.

    Cedronella canariensis - possibly the only genus in the Lamiaceae (mint family) with compound leaves.

    Salvia also has compound leaves in a few species. IE S.fruticosa
