A prostanthera I think, but not one of the 4 local species. Do you reckon this could've been planted?

I don’t think so. The coordinates are accurate this time so you can see it’s well into the Bushland. I’ve been transplanting lots of prostantheras from Aranda to KV and although there are different species, I think I’d recognise a prostanthera. I did smell it because one of my apps thought it might be thyme. It did sort of smell sort of like thyme but not minty. Thyme maybe?
