Guinea Hen Weed / Anamu - Petiveria alliacea

Native to far south Florida (one of its most common habitats found in FL is around shell mounds, indicating it was possibly utilized by native populations), most of the Caribbean and south and central America, this short bushy plant, also called garlic weed due to its intense scent is widely used as a general tonic tea, especially the roots. As with all medicinal herbs consult a health professional before consuming.
