Fossils of almost the same leaf turn up in rock two hundred million years old, which makes it older than most of the insects that land on it. It survived in China when it died out everywhere else, kept alive in temple gardens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe leaf is the newer story. Classical Chinese medicine used the nut, \u003ci\u003ebai guo\u003c\/i\u003e, and barely mentioned the leaf. It only became one of the most-used botanicals in the world after German laboratories began extracting it in the 1960s. So this is a two-hundred-million-year-old tree with a sixty-year-old tradition attached to it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eHow it is used:\u003c\/b\u003e the cut leaf is brewed as a tea, on its own or with chrysanthemum.
