Lamiaceae family - Ballıbabagiller
Made by sftrajan
the mint family The plants are frequently aromatic in all parts and include many widely used culinary herbs, such as basil, mint, rosemary, sage, savory, marjoram, oregano, thyme, lavender, and perilla. Some are shrubs, trees, such as teak, or rarely vines. It is thought that the family evolved leaves with strong tastes to dissuade animals from devouring them- the tastes humans now enjoy as flavoring.
