No1 - of COURSE!!
No2 - yes, very alike but, as you say, no smell. And the leaves are alternate.

Don't know it off hand and it's not in my 'Little books' an' my neighbour's got my 'Big Book of Everything' an' it's after 10PM and he has a big dog so I'm not going round there tonight.
(Might have a go at it tomorrow)

I think the green plant in the second picture could be a 'willow' and if you have mature willow trees in your neighbourhood, it could be a self sown seedling, as willows seeds blow everywhere.

Having looked up various varieties of buddlea in my RHS book, if it's not Lemon Verbena, it could possibly be the white flowered variety of buddlea, called Peace!

it does look like a willow, and it does look a little like Rosebay Willowherb. Who fancies doing some reverse engineering and looking up all the
salicifoliums
?
Something for the winter evenings :D
