What is this?

[Warthog]

This weed runs amok all over. In the area the goats free range, it's not too much of a problem, they eat it.

But in the areas I wish to turn into decorative/vegetable areas, I shall remove it.

The pictures are not too good, but hopefully someone can point me in the right direction.

It has a small blue flower, which is quite pretty.

Square stems, W?

In the mint family - even if it doesn't smell like it?

Not sure if the stems are square, but don't think so, I am sure I would remember if they were, but will check.

Doesn't have any mint smell that I have noticed. But will now do some research. Thanks.

The color and leaf shape sure looks like something in the mint family. But I do not know of a mint vine. Let's see what someone else comes up with.

DigistS - yes it does have square stems.

Done some checking up on various mint varieties but not found anything like it yet. Will keep trying, thanks.

In your area you'll probably have to research tropical plants. The wild plants in Belize haven't been studied very well.

Thanks Hoodat, trying to identify anything here, is nigh on impossible. As you say there is very little about Belize flora and fauna. Locals tend to have there own names for things or don't know. But I will keep on searching.
