What kind of wild mint is this in my garden?

First of all, I'm sorry I'm contributing to the many mint questions here on the forum!

So, we've got a garden outside - we live in a complex so it technically isn't ours but no one minds if we putter around in it. I found some wild mint in it today, as was evident by the square stalk (and taste). However, I can't find a solid identification. I've found a picture of similar mints doing google searches, but I've gotten several different answers - that, or it's just a stock picture of mint someone used for a recipe or something and it just says 'mint.' If anybody could help me out, that'd be awesome!

There are a gazillion mints. Do check catnip for the one you have. It doesn't small minty, just catnippy. (not meant as snark, just there are mints, and mints, and more mints).
