Do you know what this "herb" is?

[Gunjams]

Can anyone identify this plant for me? It was purchased in a batch of culinary herbs which included oregano, thyme, corrinader, and chives. [URL=http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/836

Thank you very much EcclesCake.

this is a picture of vietnamese coriander http://www.flickr.com...zelsheard/3791982171/ so it looks ok

[EcclesCake]

Anticipating the next question......what can I do with Vietnamese coriander...

It's good in Vietnamese spring rolls, shredded in Asian salads or accompaniments to main meals in lieu of regular coriander.

Don't eat too much thou it allegedly suppresses the libido.

I'd never heard of it-but since it looked a pretty plant-I did some googling. This forum has some info on it.

Is it a herb ? looks like some sort of Polygonum to me

[hammerman]

It would appear it is some kind of polygonum or Persicaria

Your wiki link defines it as Vietnamese Coriander-a herb.
