    I found this plant in a field. It has square hairy stems and small purple flowers. The leaves have a strong minty, sage aroma, are furry and turn black when crushed. The seeds are black, flat and ridged and become white and slimy when put in water. I think it may be Black Horehound but I am not entirely sure. Can anybody help? Thank you.
