Stop Calling It "Scent Leaves", See The Correct Name

Many people don't know that the leaf we use to call "scent leaves" on a daily basis has its correct name. If you asked 100% of Nigerians today, they will tell you that its correct name is "scent leaves". I won't blame anybody because we are used to referring to it as " scent leaves".

Even me I am not perfect and I am not Mr. "Know all", I used to call it scent leaves until the day I come across its other name which I will tell you in this post.

But before that, let us know why we should stop calling it " scent leaves".

What is "scent"? According to the English dictionary, it is a distinctive smell, especially one that is pleasant.

What is "leaf"? According to the Longman dictionary, it is one of the flat green parts of a plant that are joined to its stem or branches.

Now, in summary, " scent leaves" are one of the flat green parts of a plant that had a distinctive and pleasant smell. No, don't refer to it this way. It is a tropical plant species scientifically known as "Ocimum Gratissimum" in the family Labiatae.
