An alien of the Mint (Lamiaceae) family found April - July on roadsides, lawns, shady spots.  It is a creeping, ivy-like plant with scalloped roundish or kidney-shaped leaves, often purplish.  Flowers are violet in whorls in leaf axils.  Because of its creeping growth habit it withstands close mowing and can become invasive.
