Laurus nobilis is an aromatic evergreen tree or large shrub with green, glossy leaves, native to the Mediterranean region. It is one of the plants used for bay leaf seasoning in cooking. It is known as bay laurel, sweet bay, bay tree (esp. United Kingdom), true laurel, Grecian laurel,laurel tree or simply laurel. Laurus nobilis figures prominently in classical Greek, Roman, and Biblical culture.
Worldwide, many other kinds of plants in diverse families are also called "bay" or "laurel", generally due to similarity of foliage or aroma to Laurus nobilis, and the full name is used for the California bay laurel (Umbellularia), also in the family Lauraceae.
The laurel can vary greatly in size and height, sometimes reaching 10–18 metres (33–59 ft) tall. Laurus is a genus of evergreen trees belonging to the Laurel family, Lauraceae. The genus includes three species, whose diagnostic key characters often overlap (Mabberley 1997).
The laurel is dioecious (unisexual), with male and female flowers on separate plants. Each flower is pale yellow-green, about 1 cm diameter, and they are borne in pairs beside a leaf. The leaves are 6–12 cm long and 2–4 cm broad, with an entire (untoothed) margin. On some leaves the margin undulates. The fruit is a small, shiny black berry-like drupe about 1 cm long that contains one seed.

Laurel (Laurus nobilis)
Now you know me,
You know how proud I am
What I'm gonna tell you now
Won't be easy to say
Oh, before I left you
But I was a happy man
But I've been so lonely
Since I've been away.
Well, I've tried and I know
That I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always lead me back to you.
What can I say now?
Sorry's just not good enough
I couldn't blame you
If you hurt me now
The way I hurt you then
Oh, but who else can I turn to?
Baby, baby, I'm begging you
Won't you reach out to a dying man
And let him live again,
Hey, baby, now
I've tried and I know
I can't make it alone
It's such a hard way to go
I just can't make it alone
There's something in my soul
That will always lead me, lead me back to you.
Oh, baby, oh, baby
Won't you help me, girl
Girl, I need you
I'm saying that I need you, girl
I just can't make it alone
I'm tried and weak them came by myself
