Melittis melissophyllum aka Immenblatt

Melittis melissophyllum, also known as bastard balm, is a unique species of flowering plant in the mint family, Lamiaceae. It is the only member of the monotypic genus Melittis. This compact, clump-forming perennial reaches a height and width of about 40cm. Its oval or egg-shaped leaves have deep veins and scalloped edges, and both the stems and leaves are covered with hairs that emit a honey scent. During late spring and early summer, small whorls of orchid-like flowers bloom, featuring a dark purple lower lip and a white upper lip. Melittis melissophyllum can be found in different regions, including western Europe from Britain to Spain and Italy, as well as the eastern Mediterranean from Sardinia to Turkey and eastern Europe from Austria to the Baltic States. The genus name of this plant is derived from the Greek word melitta, meaning "a bee," highlighting its connection to bees.
