Kindly ID the Mint. Could be pepper mint. Photographed in Mysore yesterday (25.9.20). Received from a contact for ID.

It has the aroma of peppermint

Mentha arvensis L. ?? 

Could this be Mentha arvensis var piperascens
Mentha arvensis var. piperascens Malinv. ex Holmes is a syn. of Mentha canadensis L. as per Catalogue of Life and WCSP.
As per distribution, it is not found in India as per Catalogue of Life and WCSP.
However, I could not find the difference between the two on the net.

Thanks … What is the final ID & citation ? 

I think it should be what … stated.

Please check Mentha piperita, pipermint

It appears more closer to images at Mentha arvensis L. rather than those at Mentha × piperita L.

The leaves taste like peppermint.
The name was given as Asamantara in Marathi.
