What is this plant?

It grows as a single square stem, springing from an almost-nonexistent root, with minty-looking rounded leaves alternating.

It has no smell, and almost no taste.

These pictures were taken in early June. Each is a link to a larger image.

That's all the root it's got. The kink seems to be characteristic.

The weed growing among volunteer marigolds, italian oregano, purple basil, and smaller unidentified weeds.

Pictures taken 22 June 2017, when I noticed that it was starting to bloom.

No sitemap but:
On all of my sites, every directory contains a text file named "ED.DIR".   ED.DIR is a list of all the files in the directory, and updates itself automatically every time I open the file, so it can be used as a local sitemap.  If your browser can't read *.DIR as a text file, save-as it to *.txt.  ED.DIR is easier to read in a fixed font; it uses spaces to line up the dots in filespecs.
