Ref: Delta 2002-07-22 Lamiaceae is a family of plants including many culinary herbs, such as mint, basil and thyme. It was originally called Labiatae because the flowers have petals fused into an upper lip and a lower lip. The leaves contain aromatic essential oils and emerge oppositely, each pair at right angles to the previous one (called decussate). Many species have square stems. This article is from Wikipedia.
