Medicinal Plants: Rosemary

This stamp is dedicated to “Iklil” (Rosemary), an emblematic shrub of the scrubland landscapes and mountains of North-West Tunisia. The illustration presents a precise botanical study on the left and, on the right, the products of its transformation: a cup of crushed leaves and a bottle of extract. Rosemary symbolizes the resilience and strength of Mediterranean nature. In Tunisia, it is both a major culinary herb for meats and an essential base for the essential oil extraction industry, a booming sector which promotes the country's wild biodiversity.
