Allow me to clarify that statement, because it's very confusing.

Horehound (Marrubium vulgare)is definitely related to Mint in such a way
that it can be called part of the mint family-- Labiatae family--, just as
Lemon Balm (Melissa Officinalis) and Rosemary (Rosemarinus Officinalis)
are.

But, in the sense that all Mentha species are called 'mint', it's not a
'mint' because it's a different species.
