"Perhaps the inedibility myth began with the Wikipedia article on African blue basil, which says that "high camphor content can interfere with its use in cooking. It is, however, an attractive ornamental." Wikipedia cites the article I wrote for The Chronicle in 2005, in which I reported how tasty I found it but ignores my culinary enthusiasm.  I question whether the writer of the Wikipedia article has ever eaten, or even grown, African blue basil."

"African Blue Basil" is not native to Kenya et al. (not according to the references provided in article)
"African blue basil (Ocimum kilimandscharicum × basilicum 'Dark Opal') is native to Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, Sudan, and Ethiopia.[1]"

This is apparently incorrect, and not supported by the references provided. Reference 1 links to an entry for one of the parent plants (whose distribution is indeed "Ethiopia to E. Trop. Africa"): Ocimum kilimandscharicum Gürke. But the second reference in the article states that the hybrid was first seen by a grower in Athens, Ohio, in 1983.
