You do not need to know the precise name of a specimen as long as you can positively identify it as a member of the Mint Family. Most members of the Mint Family are rich in spicy volatile oils, and hence many can be found in the spice cabinet, including: rosemary (Rosmarinus), lavender (Lavandula), marjoram (Origanum), mint, peppermint, and spearmint (Mentha), germander (Teucrium), thyme (Thymus), savory (Satureja), horehound (Marrubium), sage (Salvia-not sagebrush!), and basil (Ocimum).
