'''''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.
