While the various Rosemarys'  are generally interchangable, there are some differences in the genetic chemical make-up that might be due to geographical or environmental differences. Rosemary is derived from the Latin ros (dew) and marinus (sea). "Sea dew" alludes to it's preferred habitat on sea coasts. An undemanding plant, Rosemary grows all around the Mediterranean region and is reasonably hardy in cooler and drought affected areas.

The different geographical locations of Rosemary play a large role in determining the levels of various constituents within Rosemary - the best documented areas are from Spain, Tunisia and France.
