A plant genus of the LAMIACEAE family. It is known as a spice and medicinal plant.

Individual's rights to obtain and use information collected or generated by others.

Phenolic benzoic acid esters.

Oils which evaporate readily. The volatile oils occur in aromatic plants, to which they give odor and other characteristics. Most volatile oils consist of a mixture of two or more TERPENES or of a mixture of an eleoptene (the more volatile constituent of a volatile oil) with a stearopten (the more solid constituent). The synonym essential oils refers to the essence of a plant, as its perfume or scent, and not to its indispensability.

A structure found in plants, fungi, and algae, that produces and contains spores.
