Ocimum basilicum(OCIBA)
Overview Code created in: 1996-10-28
- EPPO Code: OCIBA
- Preferred name: Ocimum basilicum
- Authority: Linnaeus
Origin uncertain (probably eastern Asia), not found in the wild (reputedly introduced from the Far East to Egypt, and from there to Rome, in classical times). Widely cultivated as a culinary herb in the Mediterranean region and throughout the world, rarely persisting for any significant time as an escape from cultivation. O. basilicum exists in a number of distinctive forms (some of which have been given botanical names). The Mediterranean variety is distinct from various Asiatic forms (e.g. from China, Thailand).
