Current Facts
Basil is botanically classified as Ocimum basilicum, and is a member of the Lamiaceae or mint family along with thyme, rosemary, mint and oregano. Its botanical name translates in Greek to smell and king, hence Basil's unofficial title, “the king of herbs”. Plants of the Ocimum genus are characterized by stems with square cross sections and leaves that grow opposite each other on the stem.
