Origin

Jamaica

Folk medicinal uses

Despite the fact that country people with whom we have talked say that M. viminea as found wild is not the same as the peppermint which they cultivate we have not, so far, been able to separate them botanically. It is certain, however, that the plants smell quite differently, only the cultivated plant having the characteristic peppermint odour. Only one informant has said that the "wild mint" is used to make a cold remedy, the others saying that it is not used.
