Formerly the common species was considered sacred by the Brahmins who used it especially in honor of Vishnu and in funeral rites. An African species, O. fruticosum, is highly valued at the Cape of Good Hope for its perfume. Description. From the small, fibrous roots the square stems stand erect about 1 foot tall.
