I took this picture of Ocimum sanctum several months ago. This plant is a culinary delicacy in Thailand!

This is what some plant catalogs sell as Holy Basil. It is as far as I can tell a hybrid between O. canum x basilicum. This plant only shares some similarities with Holy Basil and flavor isn't one of them.
