No I won't use a smiley because I've decided to turn into Boboff, as he's turned all nice all of a sudden. Grumble grumble.

A type of basil? I seem to remember Greek basil has small leaves like that... But the flavour would be quite distinct.

It looks a little bit like spearmint, but I presume you'd be able to identify that.

Our Greek Basil has much smaller leaves than that, but there are so many different varieties of basil it could be any.

Umm...... now you come to mention it, it smells of, umm, Basil! :oops:

Thank you so much, I had no idea, when you don't know what it is and you have discounted that it could be basil, it didn't smell of taste of basil, now it does!
