Rosemary (Rosmarinus officinalis) is a woody, perennial herb with fragrant, evergreen needle-like leaves. It is originally native to the Mediterranean region but is now widely found in many English herb gardens.. It is a member of the mint family Lamiaceae, which also includes many other herbs. The flowers are variable in colour, being white, pink, purple, or blue.
The name rosemary has nothing to do with the rose or the name Mary, but derives from the Latin name rosmarinus, which literally means "dew of the sea" Although it is thought this too may be derived from an earlier name.
Hungary water was first invented for a Queen of Hungary to "renovate vitality of paralysed limbs". It was made by mixing 180g of fresh rosemary tops in full flower into a litre of wine.
Rosemary has a very old reputation for improving memory, and has been used in Europe as a symbol for remembrance (during weddings, war commemorations and funerals) probably as a result of this reputation. Mourners would throw it into graves as a symbol of remembrance for the dead. In Shakespeare's Hamlet, Ophelia says, "There's rosemary, that's for remembrance". One modern study lends some credence to this reputation. When the smell of rosemary was pumped into cubicles where people were working, those people showed improved memory, though with slower recall.
