Roots and herbs with active medical properties and those with distinctive shapes are most often used in magical work. But, for example, i can think of no magical use ascribed to Buddleia spp., to Artemisia dranunculus (Tarragon), or to Ginkgo biloba. The first is a garden flower/shrub, the second a culinary herb, and the third an ornamental tree with reputed medical properties. There may be some magical ascriptions to these plants in some cultures, but, generally, few ornamentals have reputed magical uses (there are exceptions, such as Violet and Iris), culinary herbs often, but not always have reputed magical uses, and medical herbs often do as well. cat yronwode Hoodoo in Theory and Practice -- http://www.luckymojo.com/hoodoo.html
