Have seen Corn Mint before and it had more leaves between the Whorls of flowers so thought this was something different   |

I think it looks like Pennyroyal. The creeping stems look wrong for Corn Mint. A sniff of the leaves would confirm the ID - Pennyroyal has a very distinctive aroma. |

Looks like pennyroyal to me. The leaves are unlike corn mint. As someone said the smell is distinctive. Not just minty by really strongly pepperminty. Really clears out the old sinuses!
The shape of the calyx is distinctive as is the fringe of hairs within.
"Sepal-tube markedly ribbed with hairs in the throat and the two lower sepal-teeth are longer and narrower than the three upper" (Fitter, Fitter & Blamey 2003)
