Basil
Dwarf Basil - Small Leaf
Ocimum minimum

Dwarf Basil (Small Leaf) is a small leaf, bush-type variety, perfect for pots or containers. Since its introduction to Europe in the 16th century, basil has been the subject of very intense medical controversy. Culpepper said, "This is the herb which all authors are together by the ears about, and rail at one another like lawyers." As for its value in cooking, there is no argument. It combines naturally with any tomato dish and its clove-like flavor enhances both Italian and Oriental cuisine.
