| My mother in law gave me a beautiful plant but I am unsure what it is. She thought it was an ornamental herb, but an internet search yielded no results. Broad green fuzzy leaves with a white edge, slightly purple stem. Grows great with little watering in the shade. |

| When I search for the Plectranthus, an image of a Variegated Cuban Oregano came up, and I think it better fits the plant and my mother-in-law's prediction that it was an herb. Thanks! |

| Plectranthus amboinicus 'Nicodemus' is the full name. |

| idm775 - 'Cuban Oregano' IS Plectranthus amboinicus, the common name, like so many, is misleading as it is not an Oreganum species. There are many Plectranthus species. This is just one of them. |
