    My neighbor dropped this off for me last week. She said it propagates very easily..which it did, it is fragrant, which it reminds me of lemony oregano, it has fuzzy thick leaves. I think she referred to it as an oregano of some kind. She has kept it for 30ish years as an outdoor summer plant and brings it in for the winter. I am not sure what it is and was wondering if anyone else does? thanks.

    It looks like Plectranthus amboinicu, Cuban oregano.
