What medicinal value is attributed to it? And what is its common name?

I have this plant in my garden. I discovered its scientific name, and the fact that it has medicinal value, in a museum garden. I am certain I have spelled the name right, as I delightedly copied it down on the spot. Search engines do turn up the genus Starchytarpheta jamaicensis, indica, etc, but not S.dichotoma, and without any useful info on this genus. I am very curious to know more, as I'd always suspected it to have some medicinal value, due to the lovely aroma of its leaves - it is what I imagine the healing kingsfoil (in LOTR) would smell like...

I entered the name in three search engines and came away with no results. I am guessing that you have badly mispelled the name, or the search engines would have come up with a "did you mean" type message. You might want to rethink, retype, and repost your question.
Good luck with your search for information.

Never heard of it, are you sure you're spelling it right?
