Some similarities to : Balm (but the leaves of Gypsywort do not smell of lemons when crushed as do those of Balm) and to Motherwort.

Gypsywort, (Lycopus Eurapaeus), is the only Lycopus, at least in the natural world. The leaves are in diametrically opposite pairs, separated at wide intervals and alternately at right-angles up the step. The leaves themselves are boldly saw-toothed, and just above each pair are multiwhorls of white or creamy white small flowers, mainly pointing upwards.

The plant juice yields a black dye once used to dye fabric worn by Gypsy fortune tellers, hence the name.

Gypsywort belongs to a Genus all of its own (at least of those plants that grow in the UK).
