Hi group, I live in Tenerife Island, Spain, off the coast of Africa and my neighbor has this growing a cross the street from his house but nor he nor I have any idea what it is. So I'm turning here for help. I tried some plant ID apps to no avail. Characteristic is the very strong smell which I would say is mint-like... Maybe someone can help. Thanks a lot and stay safe. Dieter
Welcome to the forums.Looks like Plectranthus. Maybe Plectranthus neochilus. Plectranthus neochilus from West Coast DC, South Africa on August 22, 2016 at 04:38 PM by lallen. in a semi-native area behind a restaurant ยท iNaturalist Plectranthus neochilus - Beaufort Garden Centre
Thank you so much, looks like that's it. By the way, says in the description, link, that sometimes it's used to discourage dogs... due to strong smell. Let me tell you from personal experience that my dog loves them... Thanks again Stay safe
Follow up from the original poster 6 years later... I put some of it in a pot in front of my house and the stuff is virtually indestructible. It only flowered once but it has survived Tenerife summer in a pot without watering and it can be multiplied by just sticking more or less any part of it in humid soil and it will grow like crazy and flower again. Still love the smell...
