DITTANY

Dittany is the popular name of the plants of the genus Dictamnus, a herb of the rue family (Rutaceae), found in the Mediterranean region. The leaves are pinnate, the large white or rose-coloured flowers are in terminal racemes. The whole plant is covered with oily glands, and the secreted oil is so volatile that in hot weather the air round the plant becomes inflammable. Dictamnus Fraxinella and Dictamnus albus are found in gardens. The dittany of the United States is Cunila Mariana, a labiate plant. The dittany of Crete is Origanum Dictamnus, and the bastard dittany is a species of Marrubium (horehound), both labiates.
