Wild bergamot is a herb native to the woodlands of north America. It bears flowers of scarlet, pink, white or purple and has green, over leaves. The leaves have a red-colored vein running through them. The reason that bee balm is also given the name bergamot is that the aroma reminded the botanist, Dr Nicholas Mondares- whose name was given to the Latin name of the plant, Mondara- of the citrus aroma of bergamot.
