I am looking for the English word for a Chinese vegetable or herb. It's low
growing with small leaves. It's usually eaten in the spring. A stem of it
is similar in size to a stem of one of the smaller leafed basils such as
lemon basil, but the stem is more slender and more round. Stem and leaves
are a dark green.
In Mandarin the name of the plant sounds sort of like
My-ah-lie or My-yuh-lie
Any ideas for the English or Latin name?
