Porophyllum Explained
Porophyllum is a genus of flowering plants in the tribe Tageteae within the family Asteraceae known commonly as the poreleaf genus.[1] [2]
Poreleaf plants are subshrubs native to the Americas. Their leaves often have large glands that produce aromatic oils and give the plants a strong scent. Many species are used in cooking.[3] [4]
