Catnip
''Nepeta cataria'', commonly known as catnip, catswort, or catmint, is a species of the genus ''Nepeta'' in the family Lamiaceae, native to southern and eastern Europe, the Middle East, central Asia, and parts of China. It is also widely naturalized in northern Europe, New Zealand, and North America.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=''Nepeta cataria'' information from NPGS/GRIN )〕〔(World Checklist of Selected Plant Families: Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew )〕〔(Flora of China Vol. 17 Page 107 荆芥属 jing jie shu ''Nepeta'' Linnaeus, Sp. Pl. 2: 570. 1753. )〕〔(Altervista Flora Italiana, genere ''Nepeta'' ) includes photos plus range maps for Europe and North America〕 The common name catmint can also refer to the genus as a whole. The names catnip and catmint are derived from the intense attraction most cats have towards them.
==Description==

It resembles a typical mint family member in appearance by having the characteristic square stem that members of the Lamiaceae plant family have,〔http://wisplants.uwsp.edu/scripts/familygenera.asp?Family=Lamiaceaestem〕 but with brown-green foliage. The coarse-toothed leaves are triangular to ovate.〔(Missouri Botanical Garden: ''Nepeta cataria'' (Catmint) ) . accessed 1.10.2013〕
The small bilabiate flowers can be white and finely spotted with pale purple or pink. They are showy and fragrant. The plant blooms from late spring through autumn.〔
