In article -

Are the stems round, or are they (at least slighty) square?

It almost looks like it could be some sort of exotic basil-ish sort
of thing, which would have square stems. But I can't convince
myself one way or the other, based on the pictures.


Juat noting that basil is easily tested for by squashing a leaf and
smelling it.


Hard to do that with a picture. 8^)

And some of the more exotic Asian/Thai basils I've tried, while very
aromatic, don't exactly look, taste, or smell like the more familiar
Italian basils.
