Dear HS, ... the people of the spice farm are sure about the plant being * patchouli*, only that they are not aware of the scientific name. Patchouli, as such is associated with *Pogostemon cablin* (true patchouli) and *P. heyneanus* (Indian patchouli). No ruling out your guess HS -- do let me know if any one of *P. parviflora*OR *P. pubescens* also share the patchouli name in any way.
