Pungent white flowers are borne just above the leaves in dense clusters and they appear on the upper portion of the main stalk in small white clusters. They are small, strongly two-lipped and densely crowded in the upper most axils of the stems. Its does not appear on the plant until the second or third year of growth. The whole herb is use for medicinal purpose. In the past, the herb was mostly collected from the wild but today it is cultivated for commercial use.
