| | | What species of nettle is this
Im not entirely sure what plant this is, i think it is a nettle but the plants were small. Ranging between 30 - 50cm. 
Does anybody know the identity of it?? |

Does anybody know the identity of it?? | As Tiggrx says it's White Dead-nettle, but these plants aren't of the nettle family, but in the mint family, Lamiaceae (formerly Labiatae). |

I'm confused now. In my book it says that it IS part of the Dead-Nettle Family which includes:
Mints (mentha) - of which white dead nettle is one - and Woundworts (stachys) - such as Cat-mint (nepeta cataria)
Confused... you should be!  |

White dead-nettle, one of the the least noticed but most beautiful common wild flowers. Catch those creamy white flowers in a good light, and they are stunning. |

Feel for square stems, feel the bond between the relatives!

Ahh so its not a nettle as such but actualy a mint. Thanks Guy's & Lasses.
Looking in my herb book now that i know the name of the plant im looking for (ThankYou), i find intersting (appart from the fact you can suck on the flower for it nectar) is that this shouldn't be in flower untill may and yet this photo was taken last week. This odd as there are a few plants that have yet to even start growing which normaly would have by now. |

Confused... you should be! | Quite correct, but the Dead-nettle family and the Nettle family are different!
