Coleus amboinicus
Coleus amboinicus, húng chanh or rau tần dày lá in Vietnamese, is a perennial herb of the mint family, 20 to 50 centimetres tall, its stem woody near the base. The leaves grow in opposite pairs, thick and fleshy, their edges cut into small rounded teeth; small purple-pink flowers stand in spikes at the tips of stem and branches, and a very fine down covers the whole plant, which smells of lemon. Grown as a kitchen herb across the lowland provinces and picked all year, it is mostly used fresh; for drying, half-grown leaves are taken in dry weather and dried in weak sun or at 40 to 45 degrees.
