    I found this plant along the roadside in Central Arkansas. It looks like a species of mint but I cannot find it anywhere. I have searched the web and this site for anything looking like it. Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Sorry, it smells like mint also, but a fairly light scent. I have searched online quite extensively for different mints but I can't seem to find one that matches this.

    I think you may be correct Saltceder, That looks similar, I got some more pictures of it growing, maybe that will help some?

    Thanks everyone for input on this, after further research I found that you were indeed correct Saltceder. The plant I have is actually "Peri indicutescens (L.) Britt", which grows wild in this area as a weed.
