Thank you for the ID help! And yes, even with an ID I wouldn't eat it

Hi, Machi. You mentioned that it smelled kind of herbal, so I used an "Eat the Weeds" link in my ID suggestion ... but don't eat wild things without being sure, right? This little plant has lots of other common names, hit Wikipedia for more.
