Could it be Kinh Gioi? Evergreen seeds has this to say:

A very unique herb, called Kinh Gioi in Vetnam and also often called Vietnamese Balm or Vietnamese Mint in the West. Plants produce bright green saw-edged leaves with lemony scent flavor. Young leaves are used in fish and chicken dishes, salads, soups and tea drinks . . .continued here

I started seeds 11 days ago. Messed up on germantion with the cold temps and not getting good potting soil. Only a few tiny seedlings up. I'll post a picture as soon as I don't have to use a macro to see the seedlings.
