- 2. Crushed Foliage Aroma: Distinctive herbal scents versus unpleasant mousy or pungent odors provide critical confirmation.
- 3. Leaf Attachment & Margins: Examine leaf node arrangement (alternate vs opposite) and margin serration.
- 4. Inflorescence Architecture: Umbel structure, ray counts, and central flower variations.
- 5. Secretions & Sap: Note whether broken stems bleed milky white, clear, or yellow-tinted latex.
