Rosmarinus officinalis, commonly known as rosemary, is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant, evergreen, needle-like leaves and white, pink, purple, or blue flowers, native to the Mediterranean region. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, which includes many other herbs. The name rosemary derives from the Latin for dew (ros) and sea (marinus), or dew of the sea.[2] The plant is also sometimes called anthos, from the ancient Greek word ἄνθος, meaning flower.[3] Rosemary has a fibrous root system.
