easily confused herbs - mint/hyssop, "celery thing"/lovage?

Hi all, I have a generous coworker who brought me a bunch of herb cuttings from her garden. I know the chives are chives, but the "mint" smelled a bit spicier/muskier than other mint I have in pots, and the "celery thing" is really tall - about 2' - and has thin stocks and flat leaves, though it does smell strongly of celery.


Is it possible that what she really gave me are hyssop and lovage? How can I tell the difference?
