[edit] Mint or Dead-nettle family, or both?

In my various sources, all books to do with UK botany, the Lamiaceae are called the Dead-nettle family. Elsewhere (especially in US sources on the web) it is called the Mint family. Is one of these names outdated? Or can they co-exist side by side? Whatever the answer, the text ought to be amended in some way to acknowledge the Dead-nettle family name, whether still in use or considered redundant. Jasper33 21:42, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
