rosemary

The plant on a Sunday roast has a longer association with memory than with lamb.
savourybitterveganvegetarian

Cultural layer

Origin
The Mediterranean coast; Salvia rosmarinus, whose name means dew of the sea, a hardy shrub of dry coastal scrub
Routes
Spread across Europe from antiquity as a culinary, medicinal and funerary plant; carried worldwide by European settlement and now naturalised in several places as an invasive
Context
Rosemary was a funeral herb before it was a roast-potato herb: placed with the dead and carried by mourners as a token of remembrance across Mediterranean and later European practice. It survives drought and poor soil, which is why it grows on graves and cliffs alike. The plant on a Sunday roast has a longer association with memory than with lamb.

Route

Pending

The routes are written. They are not yet mapped.

This entry's cultural layer already names where it came from and how it moved. What it does not yet carry is that movement as structure: ordered waypoints with real coordinates, and a mechanism on each leg. Until it does, the layer stays an empty slot rather than a drawn line, because a map built from prose would be a guess with a projection under it.
