Seseri

Seseri is a small, herbaceous plant belonging to the family Lamiaceae, commonly known as the mint family. Its scientific name is *Seseli tortuosum*. This species is native to the Mediterranean region and is found in various parts of Southern Europe, North Africa, and Western Asia. Seseri is characterized by its delicate, often feathery leaves and small, white or pink flowers that bloom in clusters during the summer months. The plant typically grows in dry, sunny habitats, often found on rocky slopes, grasslands, and coastal areas.

The plant has a long history of traditional use. In folk medicine, seseri has been employed for various ailments, though scientific validation for many of these uses is limited. The aromatic properties of the plant are notable, with its leaves and stems releasing a distinct scent when crushed. While not widely cultivated for commercial purposes, seseri can be found in botanical gardens and as a decorative plant in some herb gardens due to its attractive foliage and flowers. Its ecological role is primarily as a food source for certain insects. The genus *Seseli* itself contains many species, and *Seseli tortuosum* is one of the more recognizable members.
