Coleus amboinicus syn. Plectranthus amboinicus

Anyone know what this plant is? I got a cutting the other day and am told it is used in asian cooking. The leaves are furry and have a very pungent smell 😊 any ideas?? #plantid

Thai Basil?

Square stemmed?

it is Plectranthus aromaticus and/or Plectranthus amboinicus (both used interchangeably), also called Philippine Oregano or Cuban Oregano. it has a very strong pungent odor, used in several southern Phil dishes and is also considered medicinal.

Thanks so much @ayeshamiamia 😊

glad to have helped identify 😊 @KarenLindee
