Thai Basil is a type of basil native to Southeast Asia that has been cultivated to provide distinctive traits. Widely used throughout Southeast Asia, its flavor, described as anise- and licorice-like and slightly spicy, is more stable under high or extended cooking temperatures than that of sweet basil. Thai basil has small, narrow leaves, purple stems, and pink-purple flowers.

九層塔這名稱的由來，主要因它的花序重重疊疊如塔狀的外觀而得名。「九」是形容很多的意思。另一解釋是因為九層塔開花時，花會以三個花頭長在莖上為一層，約共長出九層，所以稱作九层塔。
