Plant id - some kind of mint?

I'm seeing a lot of this around in the woods at the moment:

It has opposing leaves, and the stem is angular... Could call it square at a bit of a stretch. So I wondered if it was something in the mint family? It forms a a rosette.it has no odor that I can make out.
Also possibly looks a bit like the leaves of alexanders but I doubt it's that. Any ideas?

It reminds me of wood Avens. However I've just plugged the photo into a plant ID app, and it reckons it could be 'blessed herb' the photo's certainly look convincing

I had dismissed the idea of wood avens but now you mention it, they are a very good match for the basal leaves of wood avens. I'm fairly convinced now. Wildfooduk https://www.wildfooduk.com/edible-wild-plants/wood-avens/
describes the opposing pairs of leaves in diminishing size, exactly as what I've found.
Plant id is not easy this time of year. Thanks punkrockcaveman.

Apologies, I though wood avens and blessed herb were two different species, turns out they are the same! Always good fun to ID stuff. Especially in winter

Ah, I never made that connection either. I've heard of it as herb bennet, never heard of blessed herb though!

Me neither! Might be a European name?
