Usually two species or subspecies are differed: Clinopodium menthifolium subsp. menthifolium (= Calamintha sylvatica subsp. sylvatica), which also occurs in Central Europe, and Clinopodium menthifolium subsp. ascendens (= Calamintha sylvatica subsp. ascendens). The latter has smaller blossoms and shorter petioles at the flowers. | ||
