Ah, thank you for the clarification! It seems there might be a misunderstanding or a different name being used. In biblical accounts, the plant often associated with Jesus, particularly during the crucifixion when a sponge soaked in sour wine was offered to him, is hyssop.

Here's more about hyssop:
