Also known as 'Bay Laurel' o 'Sweet Bay' tree Explanation: [Laurus nobilis] - Also known as 'Bay Laurel' or 'Sweet Bay' - especially when talking about leaves for cooking and aromatherapy. I thought these referred mostly to the trees throughout the Mediterranean - I guess it would be the same tree? (There is also a so-called 'West Indian Bay Tree' [Pimenta racemosa] ). Suerte. |
