'''''Stevia''''' is a [[genus]] of about 240 [[species]] of [[Herbaceous plant|herb]]s and [[shrub]]s in the sunflower family ([[Asteraceae]]), native to [[subtropical]] and [[tropical]] [[South America]] and [[Central America]]. The species ''Stevia rebaudiana'', commonly known as '''sweetleaf''', '''sweet leaf''', '''sugarleaf''', or simply '''stevia''', is widely grown for its sweet leaves. As a sweetener and [[sugar substitute]], stevia's taste has a slower onset and longer duration than that of [[sugar]], although some of its extracts may have a bitter or [[licorice]]-like [[aftertaste]] at high concentrations. ==Cultivation== ===Propagation=== ===Pests and diseases=== ==Varieties== ==Gallery== <gallery perrow=5> Image:Stevia rebaudiana foliage.jpg|''S. rebaudiana'' foliage Image:Upload.png| photo 1 Image:Upload.png| photo 2 Image:Upload.png| photo 3 </gallery> ==References== <references/> <!--- xxxxx *Flora: The Gardener's Bible, by Sean Hogan.
