For instance, the scientific name for the plant that most people refer to as "basil" is "Ocimum basilicum," yet most people just call it "basil." In the same vein, "Mint" is more commonly referred to as "Mentha" in the botanical world. These different names are a helpful tool for correctly identifying and categorizing herbs.Also, Herbs are a wide group of plants that have been utilized for a variety of purposes for hundreds of years due to the many qualities and advantages that they possess.
