Melissa officinalis L.

Melissa, door botanicus Carolus Linnaeus (1707-1778) geduid als een telg van de lamiaceae of muntfamilie, behoort tot een geslacht dat vijf soorten kent die voorkomen in Europa, centraal Azië en Iran. Naast de algemeen voorkomende M. officinalis officinalis, die in het Engels lemon balm wordt genoemd, bestaan andere varianten, zoals de M. officinalis altissima en de M. officinalis inodora. Deze onderscheiden zich door hun geur, waarbij M. officinalis officinalis wordt gekenmerkt door de sterke, typische citroengeur.
