Rosmarinus officinalis, Rosemary
This stamp was issued by Taiwan in 2013 in a series, of four stamps, named HERB PLANTS.
I found some information about this series of plants and I quote some of the information and the piece about Rosmarinus officinalis
Planting and the use of herb plants have grown to be a trend in recent years. To showcase the enchanting beauty of these multipurpose plants, Chunghwa Post is issuing a set of four stamps featuring Mentha × piperita, Rosmarinus officinalis, Salvia elegans, and Artemisia indica. The designs follow:
Rosmarinus officinalis (NT$5): It is a woody, perennial plant of the family Lamiaceae. The leaves are opposite, long and narrow; the colors are rich green, with a pleasant sheen. The flowers are blue, white or pink. The plant is edible and extensively used for medicinal purposes. It is also a common ingredient in essential oils and bath products.
There hardly seems to be an issue of the journal THE MEDITERRANEAN GARDEN without a reference to Rosemary,
