Impressed that Kay got a similar guess to mine from the
description alone tho;-) Nice one Kay

Thanks :-)

But that's a result of the classification system, and that the OP gave
the main characteristics of the family - the square stems and the 4
nutlets is pretty characteristic of the labiates. The pink flowers and
the 'spininess' narrows it down further - not a mint or thyme for
example.
