My basil plants look funny

Normally I plant lemon or sweet basil. The store didn't have any, so this year I planted some other variety. A bunch of plants popped up, but their leaves look a bit like oak leaves, with jagged edges, and some have already started flowering here in NY even though it's only June.

Is this basil? Or did some weed sneak in? It's new dirt from the store, but anything's possible.

Also, if anybody knows a website with pictures of different basil leaves, that would help.

Thanks!

Haven't y'all had a heat wave up there? That might be stimulating the basil to bloom.

It's still raining here in South Carolina.

Does it smell and taste like basil? If so, you have a variety of basil.
