			'''''Marrubium vulgare''''' ('''White Horehound''' or '''Common Horehound''') is a [[flowering plant]] in the family [[Lamiaceae]], native to [[Europe]], northern [[Africa]] and [[Asia]].

			It is a greyish-leaved [[herbaceous]] [[perennial plant]], somewhat resembling [[Mentha\|mint]] in appearance, which grows to 25-45 cm tall. The [[leaf\|leaves]] are 2-5 cm long with a densely crinkled surface, and downy-hairy. The [[flower]]s are white, borne in clusters on the upper part of the main stem. Like other members of [[Lamiaceae]], horehound has a square stem.

			'''Marrubium vulgare''' is also used as a natural [[grasshopper]] repellant in agriculture.
