Export regions

Wild marjoram, or oregano, is an aromatic herb shipped as dried leaves and flowering tops. Rubbing the brittle material between the fingers releases its scent.

Apothecaries use the fragrant parts in their preparations. The stems are gathered and dried, leaving small leaves and flower fragments in the cargo. Related plants can pass under similar names, so an experienced buyer judges the smell and condition of the herb rather than trusting its label alone.
