Lemon verbena is a pleasant-smelling plant native to Argentina and Chile. The plant is commonly cultivated in the tropics and Europe, and is grown commercially in France and North Africa. With tiny white blossoms and pointed, narrow leaves, lemon verbena, also sometimes called luisa, gets its name from the lemony fragrance of the leaves when they are crushed. Its initial widespread use was as a food and flavoring additive, particularly being added to poultry and fish dishes, as well as salads, dressings, jams, and various beverages.
