This tall plant of mint family is beginning to bear flowers. The leaves have a very distinct and pleasant herby smell. The stem is square, grooved and covered in white hair. I am not sure if this evidence is enough to attempt an ID but I am giving it a try. Please advise.

I found one with a couple of flowers on 4 September and though these might help in identifying the plant. The flowers look like those of a Plectranthus species. Please advise.

Thanks.

A reply:
"I am afraid, as in Labiatae the stamen and style character are important to confirm the genus. In these photos I am not able to see. Sorry.
Sampath Kumar"

Thanks a lot, Sampath ji.

I am finding it difficult to get a sharp close up of the flowers as the days have been very overcast and a constant breeze ensures movement. I tried on Sunday and I hope these are clear enough for an ID. The first photo shows a forked style and the stamens.

Thanks.
Ashwini

From the flower character it is mostly of Plectranthus species (presently of Isodon). But not Elsholtzia as suggested by some one, I am sorry species could not be identified based on photo!
