  Here foragers are bring in a spectacular red pollen from a mint type weed
known as "hen-path" or "hen-bit." Its low, with pubescent leaves and has
purple to violet flowers. Someone else mentioned to me it used to be used
for beer making as a hops substitute but now has naturalized.
Sorry I don't have a Latin name.
