ROSMARINUS OFFICINALIS.—迷迭香 (Mi-tieh-hsiang). This was brought from the bounds of the Roman Empire during the reign of Wenti of the Wei dynasty (452 A. D.). It was valued for its delightful fragrance. It is used to make fine odors, as a perfume, and when burned will drive away demons. Mixed with Peucedanum decursivum, it is burned to drive away mosquitoes.
