Translation:

Cunilla in Pliny has several kinds, a cultivated one called cunilla bubula {"ox-cunilla"}, with seed similar to pulegium {"pennyroyal"}, which some people call falsely panacea. And there is a second cunilla so called by our people {but by the Greeks} origanum heracleoticum. The third kind is the one that is called mascula {"male"} by the Greeks and by us cunillago; it has a root that smells fetid and is miry {but Pliny: "like wood"}, with rough leaves, etc.

And further down {Pliny says}: There is yet another cunilla, which is called mollis {"the soft one"}, with branches that are more hairy and thorny, and when crushed it has the smell of honey; on touch it makes the fingers stick together.
