4780 Pandanus amaryllifolius - Dwarf Screwpine, Pandan

Small tree 10-20 ft Full sun Moderate water Palm or palm-like Flood tolerant Seaside, salt tolerant plant Unknown name

This unique plant is a true cultigen, and is believed to have been domesticated in ancient times. It is sterile and can only reproduce vegetatively through suckers or cuttings. It was first described from specimens from the Maluku Islands, and the rare presence of male flowers in these specimens may indicate that it is the origin of the species. However, as no other wild specimens have been found, this is still conjecture. Pandan is an upright, green plant with fan-shaped sprays of long, narrow, blade-like leaves and woody aerial roots. It has fragrant leaves which are used widely for flavoring in the cuisines of Southeast Asia and South Asia. The characteristic aroma of pandan is caused by a special aroma compound that gives white bread, jasmine rice, and basmati rice (as well as bread flowers Vallaris glabra) their typical smell.
Great container plant and a houseplant, compact and slow growing, very tropical looking!

Perilla frutescens - Shiso, Shishi Herb, Beefsteak Plant

5646 Perilla frutescens - Shiso, Shishi Herb, Beefsteak Plant

Small shrub 2-5 ft Full sun Semi-shade Regular water Spice or herb Edible Subtropical, cold hardy at least to 30s F for a short time

This unique plant is originally used in real Japanese sushi serving (instead of plastic "grass" used now in Western world).
Shiso is a perennial plant that may be cultivated as an annual in temperate climates. The Japanese name shiso is a loan word from Chinese zisu that means purple. Bunches of green shiso leaves packaged in styrofoam trays are now familiar sights on the supermarket shelves in Japan, as well as in Japanese food markets in the West. The oilseed crop, is the source of perilla oil. It is used as an ingredient in Korean cuisine, both "wild sesame'" (deulggae), and "sesame leaves". It is known in Japan as egoma. The red perilla has red leaves and used mostly in fish stews in China. Koreans make pickled "wild sesame" perilla leaves with red chili powder and soy sauce. Oil extracted from P. frutescens var. frutescens is still used to cover cookies in rural areas of Korea. Sometimes, the seeds are ground and added to soup for seasoning in Korea. Parts of the plants eaten are the leaves, flower and buds from the flower stalks, fruits and seeds, and sprouts. Japanese use green shiso leaves raw with sashimi. Dried leaves are also infused to make tea.
the plant is also called rattlesnake weed, because the sound the dried stalks make when disturbed along the footpath is reminiscent of the rattlesnake rattling sound.
