Talk:Ocimum americanum

Didn't realize ocimum americanum existed
I suppose all of you who thought "lime basil" was new will be redirected here anyway... but my bad. This article still needs to be developed though.--Jp07 (talk) 02:03, 7 August 2009 (UTC)

name and origin
The lemon basil article describes Ocimum americanum as "African basil" which isn't mention here... and which seems to conflict with the name of "americanum". Not sure what to think. --Chriswaterguy talk 06:14, 26 November 2010 (UTC)

pic & info
The ref given, http://www.herbsociety.org/basil/oamericanum.php, is broken, but there are PDFs on the site which might make passing reference to this variety.

The picture on the right gives a better view of the leaves. I wanted to add it outside the infobox (not replacing the existing infobox pic, which is nice) but couldn't see how without making the page untidy. --Chriswaterguy talk 06:25, 26 November 2010 (UTC)
