Title: What is this species
Post by: jukkaduei on October 26, 2017, 05:13:59 PM: I found it in my garden but I really don't know it's species. Some people tell me it's peppermint but I'm not sure.
It have a small yellow flower but it don't have its flower in this time
And I want to know its usage.

I don't think peppermint has yellow flowers.
What shape were the flowers and were they held singly or in a bunch or a spike?
cheers

Try Impatiens capensis

That's still not right

Post by: Alan_b on October 27, 2017, 08:33:20 AM: The flower looks very like a Lesser Celandine, Ficaria verna, but if it really is attached to those leaves then that cannot be correct. Nothing in the Mint/Dead Nettle family (Lamiaceae) has flowers remotely like the one in the picture.

Acmella oppositifolia

Oh! That's so close. But I've already found it's correct species.
It's Acmella ciliata :)

Thank you for everyone to answer me
But I still need to know it's information. It's not in wikipedia.

Post by: Oron Peri on October 28, 2017, 05:10:16 AM: jukkaduei, it is not Acmella ciliata.

Acmella ciliata has very short, tipical petals and a much thicker pedicel.
